Iii. Calculation Method for the Cost of Taojiyun's consolidated transportation of Snacks
The cost of organizing and shipping snacks mainly depends on the weight or volume of the snacks. The specific rules are as follows:
  • When the actual weight of the snack is greater than its volumetric weight, the charge is based on the actual weight. The calculation formula is: Freight = Actual weight (kg) × The unit price corresponding to the mode of transportation (yuan /kg).
  • When the volumetric weight of a snack is greater than its actual weight, the charge is based on the volumetric weight. Volumetric weight (kg) = length (cm) × Width (cm) × Height (cm) ÷ 6000, freight = volumetric weight (kg) × The unit price corresponding to the mode of transportation (yuan /kg).
For instance, if the actual weight of a box of snacks is 5 kilograms and the length, width and height after packaging are 40cm, 30cm and 20cm respectively, then the volumetric weight = 40× 30× 20÷ 6000=4kg. At this point, the freight is calculated based on the actual weight of 5kg. If sea transportation is chosen and the unit price of sea transportation is 15 yuan per kilogram, then the freight cost is 5. 15=75 yuan.
In addition, Taojiyun also offers a valuation service. If you are concerned about the loss or damage of snacks during transportation, you can purchase a valuation service. The valuation fee is 0.5% to 1% of the value of the snacks. In case of an accident, compensation can be made according to the valuation amount.
Iv. Clear the matters of concern
(1) Truthfully report information about snacks
When submitting a consolidated shipping order, the name, quantity, value and other information of the snacks must be filled in truthfully. False or concealed reporting is strictly prohibited. If the declared information does not match the actual situation, it may lead to delays in customs clearance or even detention by the customs.
(2) Prepare relevant supporting documents
Some special snacks may require the provision of relevant supporting documents, such as inspection and quarantine certificates for imported food. When buying snacks, it's best to ask the merchant for these materials so that they can be used during customs clearance.
(3) Understand Taiwan's import tax and fee policies
According to the relevant regulations of Taiwan, the tariff rate for imported snacks is generally between 5% and 10%, and the specific rate varies depending on the type of snack. When the declared value of snacks exceeds a certain amount (usually NT $3,000), customs duties need to be paid. Taojiyun offers tax-inclusive services. You can choose this service to avoid paying additional taxes during customs clearance.
V. Tips for Avoiding Pitfalls
  • Try to choose well-known and reputable snack brands from the Chinese mainland. These brands have standardized packaging, clear ingredient labeling, and a high customs clearance pass rate.
  • When placing an order, pay attention to checking the production date and shelf life of the snacks to ensure that they are still within the shelf life after arriving in Taiwan.
  • Do not consolidate and ship too many snacks at one time to avoid high tariffs due to excessive declared value. You can consolidate and ship them in batches instead.
  • Keep all screenshots of orders, logistics information and payment vouchers well so that you can protect your rights in time when problems arise.
By shipping snacks from the Chinese mainland to Taiwan through Taojiyun, you can not only taste various local specialties but also enjoy affordable prices. As long as you follow the above process and pay attention to the relevant precautions, you can smoothly have your favorite snacks transported home.
