However, many users have failed to enjoy the zero-tariff benefit smoothly due to their unfamiliarity with the policy details. The following are the key points of practical operation:
1. Scope of application of zero tariffs
Goods subject to zero tariffs under the ECFA must meet two core conditions: First, they must be listed in the ECFA Early Harvest List of Goods Trade, covering major categories such as agricultural products, light industrial products, mechanical products, and electronic products. Among them, daily necessities, small household appliances, and clothing, which are commonly used in personal consolidated shipping, are all included.
