Send Parcels to Taiwan from only £30.30

Taiwan is one of the UK’s more valuable trading relationships in East Asia, so if you’re shipping to Taiwan regularly, it's helpful to stay up to date on the strength of trade between the two countries. In the four quarters to the end of Q3 2025, total UK-Taiwan trade in goods and services reached £9.1 billion. Shipping from the UK to Taiwan has grown by 4% in the last year alone, which reflects stronger ties between the two nations and the impact of the landmark Enhanced Trade Partnership on digital trade and investment.

As Taiwan remains the UK’s 34th-largest trading partner, the flow of goods (including cars, tobacco, and pharmaceuticals) is steady, and this thriving commercial energy is mirrored in digital shopping. Taiwan’s e-commerce market is projected to reach over $53 billion this year, driven by a tech-proficient population that looks to international retailers for unique products. As such, the rates of parcel delivery to Taiwan are undoubtedly driven by e-commerce. But there’s also a human connection behind these figures, and that translates into a different kind of parcel traffic.

Taiwan’s National Immigration Agency recorded 2,836 UK nationals as foreign residents in Taiwan in its January 2026 release, while the latest detailed ONS Census 2021 tables showed 10,290 Taiwan-born usual residents in England and Wales. That’s a lot of people sending parcels to Taiwan, not just for business, but also for family and friends at home.

How to prepare your parcel for shipping to Taiwan

Before you send a parcel to Taiwan, make sure the contents are allowed to travel. Some items are restricted/prohibited, to avoid delays (or your shipment held up at customs), check this before dispatch. Choose a snug box with a sturdy fit for your goods, and pack your parcel with cushioning materials (bubble wrap, foam, cardboard, or polystyrene). Seal the parcel securely along all open edges and seams using strong packing tape. Make sure the finished parcel is weighed and measured accurately after packaging, as under-declaring the size or weight is one of the most common causes of avoidable surcharges.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to deal with customs when shipping a pallet from the UK to Taiwan?

Yes, when shipping from UK to Taiwan, your parcel will need to go through customs. Taiwan is outside the UK, so international parcels must be sent with a customs declaration, and Chunghwa Post notes that imported parcels are subject to inspection. Every parcel must come with a commercial invoice that tells customs more about the quantity, material, and how much the goods are worth. The commercial invoice is especially important because, as of March 2026, Taiwan maintains a ‘de minimis’ threshold of NT$2,000 (approximately £48), meaning any shipment valued above this amount will be subject to import duties and VAT.

How much does it cost to send a parcel to Taiwan?

You could send a parcel to Taiwan for £38.97 with Parcel Broker, but the final cost depends on the size and weight of your parcel, plus the service speed you choose. Customers of Parcel Broker could save up to 60% on international parcel delivery compared with going direct, so comparing services side by side is the best place to start.

How should I address my parcel for delivery to Taiwan?

Chunghwa Post recommends writing the recipient’s details in four clear lines. First the name (or company name), then the house number, alley, lane and street or road, then the town or township, city or county and postal code, and finally the country name. Here’s an example:

Ms Lin Mei-Hua
No. 88, Ln. 120, Sec. 3, Zhongxiao E. Rd.
Da’an District, Taipei City 106409
TAIWAN

What items can't I send to Taiwan?

At a minimum, you should not send narcotics, live animals, obscene materials, dangerous goods such as explosives, flammable or radioactive items, counterfeit goods, or anything prohibited by Taiwanese customs law.

Restrictions can vary by carrier and destination country, so it’s always worth checking the prohibited items guidance before booking your shipment.
