Taiwan's customs ban on the entry of fresh food

A Guide to Avoiding Pitfalls When Shipping Snacks and Meat Products from the Chinese Mainland to Taiwan through Consolidated shipping

In 2026, the new food quarantine regulations of Taiwan's customs were comprehensively upgraded. Fresh produce, meat, and mein-containing snacks were listed as strictly prohibited categories. The maximum fine for sending them in violation of regulations was NT $1 million.

This article clearly divides the list of food items that can and cannot be sent to Taiwan, elaborates on the entire process of Taiwan consolidated shipping and purchasing on behalf of Taojiyun, ensures compliance with customs clearance without withholding or returning the goods, and provides a one-stop compliance tutorial for Taiwanese compatriots to purchase snacks from the Chinese mainland online.

Policy backgroundThe core reasons for the upgraded food entry control measures in Taiwan in 2026

To prevent the cross-border spread of African swine fever and animal and plant diseases, the Bureau of Animal and Plant Health Inspection and Quarantine of Taiwan's Department of Agriculture will tighten the review of food entry from the Chinese mainland in 2026All fresh live food ingredients, livestock and poultry meat products, and processed snacks containing animal componentsBe included in the scope of mandatory quarantine embargo.

Personal packages that conceal or contain prohibited food will be directly destroyed or returned. At the same time, a fine of NT $10,000 to NT $1,000,000 will be imposed in accordance with the Animal Infectious Disease Prevention and Control Act. For the first violation of pork products from epidemic areas, a fine of NT $200,000 will be imposed, and the maximum penalty will be imposed for the second violation.

Most Taiwanese compatriots and overseas students have their online purchases of snacks from the Chinese mainland detained because they cannot distinguish the boundaries between vegan and meat-free snacks and hidden meat-containing ingredient foods.
