Air Freight to Taiwan
To send large items like tables and chairs to Taiwan you could try air freight, which takes about one or two days. This is a quick option but it can be expensive, especially if you have a large shipment. You will likely have to pay for a customs agent to deal with customs clearance for you. And, you need to transport your items to and from the airport, somehow. If you send internationally by air freight to Taiwan your items will likely arrive at one of the major international airports, such as Taipei.
Sea Freight and Container Shipping to Taiwan
Instead of air freight you could choose sea freight or container shipping to transport your possessions to Taiwan. This could be the solution for you if you don’t need your items right away, since it can take a few months. This option can be cheaper than air freight, but you will still need to hire a customs agent and will need to get your items to and from the ports. Your items will most likely arrive at one of the big sea ports in Taiwan, such as Taipei or Taichung.
Shipping Goods to Taiwan
It is very important to be aware of current customs rules when shipping goods to Taiwan. You should know of any customs duties that you need to pay and what items are allowed to be shipped to Taiwan, which items are restricted, and which are entirely prohibited. Take a look at the prohibited items and customs sections on this page for more information.
