How to buy things on Xiaohongshu in Taiwan? Complete process of consolidation shipping + purchasing agent

In recent years, Xiaohongshu (also known as Little Red Book) has evolved from a simple lifestyle-sharing platform into a highly sought-after "treasure trove for shopping" among Taiwanese users. It hosts a vast array of distinctive products from mainland China—ranging from affordable beauty and skincare, niche clothing and apparel, to creative home goods and digital accessories. Not only is the product range comprehensive, but the prices are also more competitive than those on local Taiwanese platforms (such as Shopee). However, Taiwanese users often face three major pain points when shopping on Xiaohongshu: "difficult payment, no direct shipping to Taiwan, and chaotic logistics", which deter many from making purchases.

Don't worry! This article presents the most up-to-date 2025 complete guide to shopping on Xiaohongshu for Taiwanese users. Whether you have a mainland China payment method or not, you can easily unlock shopping freedom through two solutions: "consolidation shipping" or "proxy purchasing" via TaoJiYun. We break down the entire process from account preparation, authentic product selection, to NTD payment, logistics tracking, tariff avoidance, and after-sales rights protection, ensuring a hassle-free experience from placing your order to receiving your goods!

I. Pre-Shopping Preparation: 3 Steps to Complete Basic Setup

Before you start shopping on Xiaohongshu, complete these 3 preparations to avoid encountering obstacles during subsequent operations:

1. Download and Register the Xiaohongshu App (Exclusive Method for Taiwanese Users)

Taiwanese users do not need a mainland China phone number to register! Here are the detailed steps:

iOS users: Open the App Store, switch to the "Chinese Mainland region", and search for "Xiaohongshu" to download the app;

Android users: Download the app through mainland Chinese app stores (such as Myapp, Huawei AppGallery), or directly search the official Xiaohongshu website for the download. Install and then open the app;

Registration method: Select "Phone number registration", enter your Taiwanese phone number, and receive a SMS verification code to complete the registration. You can also log in quickly via WeChat or QQ (you need to bind your Taiwanese phone number in advance).

2. Authentic Product Selection: Avoid Shopping Pitfalls

Xiaohongshu offers a wide variety of products. To avoid purchasing counterfeit goods, prioritize the following types of stores:

Official Flagship Stores: Stores with the "Official Flagship" label in their names, operated directly by the brand, offering the highest level of authentic product guarantee;

Certified Stores: Merchants with the "Brand Certified" or "Enterprise Certified" labels, which have undergone platform qualification audits and are highly reliable;

High-Reputation Stores: Check the store rating (prioritize stores with a rating of 4.8 or above) and user reviews. Focus on reviews with real photos and videos, and avoid stores with "uniformly positive reviews" or "no detailed photos".

3. Clarify Payment and Logistics Needs: Choose the Right Solution for Yourself

Most mainland Chinese merchants on Xiaohongshu do not support direct shipping to Taiwan, nor do they directly accept New Taiwan Dollar (NTD) payments. Taiwanese users can choose a solution based on their own situation:

With a mainland Chinese bank card/WeChat Pay: You can choose the "Consolidation Shipping Solution". Place your own orders and ship the goods to a consolidation warehouse, where they will be combined and packaged before being shipped to Taiwan—this is more cost-effective in terms of shipping fees;

Without a mainland Chinese payment method: You can choose the "Proxy Purchasing Solution". Provide the product link to TaoJiYun's proxy purchasing platform, where the proxy purchaser will handle the entire process of ordering, payment, and logistics, supporting NTD payments (Line Pay/WeChat Pay NTD/Alipay NTD).

II. Solution 1: Consolidation Shipping Guide (Suitable for Those with a Mainland Chinese Payment Method Who Want to Save on Shipping Fees)

The core logic of consolidation shipping: First, ship the products purchased on Xiaohongshu to a mainland Chinese consolidation warehouse. Once all packages have arrived, the consolidation company will combine and package them before shipping them to your Taiwan address. Use "TaoJiYun TW Version", which is specially designed for Taiwanese users with simple operation and stable delivery timelines.

IV. Practical Tips for Taiwanese Users Shopping on Xiaohongshu: Save Money & Avoid Pitfalls

1. Money-Saving Tips: Shop More Cost-Effectively

Combine Orders for Consolidation: When purchasing multiple items, try to place your orders within the same time period. Consolidating the shipments can save you multiple shipping fees (the heavier the single parcel, the lower the unit shipping cost);

Follow Promotions: Xiaohongshu often holds promotions such as "Brand Days", "Limited-Time Flash Sales", and "Discount Coupons". Especially during major shopping festivals like 618, Double 11 (Singles' Day), and Double 12, the discount offers are more attractive. You can bookmark your desired products in advance and wait for these promotions;

Reduce Parcel Volume: Avoid products with excessive packaging when placing your order. During consolidation shipping, you can request the platform to "remove excess packaging" to reduce the parcel volume and lower the shipping fee.

2. Pitfall Avoidance Guide: Things to Note

Check Prohibited Items: Taiwan Customs has restrictions on certain items, such as liquids (exceeding 100ml), batteries, powders, and fresh food. Before placing your order, consult the customer service of the consolidation shipping/proxy purchasing platform to confirm whether the goods can be shipped;

Tariff Avoidance: The tariff threshold for imported goods into Taiwan is NTD 3,000. Keeping the total value of goods in a single parcel below NTD 3,000 can exempt you from tariffs. If you are purchasing multiple high-value items, it is recommended to ship them in separate parcels;

V. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can I pay directly with NTD when shopping on Xiaohongshu?
A1: No, you cannot pay directly with NTD to mainland Chinese merchants on Xiaohongshu. You need to complete the NTD conversion through a proxy purchasing platform, which supports various NTD payment methods such as Line Pay, WeChat Pay NTD, and Alipay NTD.

Q2: Which is cheaper: consolidation shipping or proxy purchasing?
A2: When purchasing multiple items, consolidation shipping is cheaper (there is no proxy purchasing service fee, only the consolidation shipping fee needs to be paid). When purchasing 1-2 items, proxy purchasing is more cost-effective (it saves you the time and effort of handling the process yourself, and the service fee is lower than the separate consolidation shipping fee).

Q3: Will my parcel be inspected and detained by Customs?
A3: As long as the goods are legal and declared truthfully, the probability of inspection and detention is extremely low. It is recommended to avoid prohibited items to reduce the risk of tariffs and detention. If your parcel is randomly inspected by Customs, the consolidation shipping/proxy purchasing platform will assist you in providing relevant documents.

Q4: How long is the logistics delivery time? Will there be delays?
A4: Standard air freight takes 3-5 days, while express air freight takes 1-2 days. Delays of 1-2 days may occur during holidays (such as the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival). It is recommended to plan your shopping time in advance and avoid peak logistics periods.

Conclusion

In fact, shopping on Xiaohongshu for Taiwanese users is not complicated. As long as you choose the right "consolidation shipping" or "proxy purchasing" solution, you can easily overcome the limitations of payment and logistics, and enjoy a vast array of high-quality products and preferential prices from mainland China.
