How to track a parcel in Taiwan
To track a parcel in Taiwan, enter your tracking number above to view immediate status updates. Our system automatically detects the carrier from your number format, whether your item is handled domestically by Chunghwa POST or originating from an overseas logistics provider. You will receive clear timeline updates as your package moves through international dispatch, customs clearance, local distribution hubs, and final last-mile delivery across Taiwan.
How parcels move in Taiwan
Taiwan features an efficient parcel delivery network supported by modern transportation infrastructure, major sea ports, and international air cargo hubs. Overseas orders entering Taiwan frequently arrive through primary international airports before transferring to centralized processing and sorting facilities. Consumers in Taiwan routinely purchase products from foreign online retailers and regional e-commerce platforms, requiring smooth coordination between international shipping partners and local delivery networks.
Within Taiwan, domestic parcel transit relies on well-connected highway networks linking major metropolitan centers such as Taipei, New Taipei, Taichung, and Kaohsiung, as well as routes reaching regional towns and offshore islands. Goods originating from international locations are transferred to local carriers after clearing border inspections. Chunghwa POST operates as the primary nationwide postal system, maintaining extensive distribution hubs and community branches.
Delivery channels across Taiwan offer direct doorstep service, pickup at local convenience stores, and dedicated parcel lockers. Because international cross-border packages must undergo mandatory import clearance upon arrival, tracking updates may briefly pause while items pass through security inspection before entering local distribution routes.
The national post
Chunghwa POST functions as the national postal operator across Taiwan, managing domestic mail, express parcel services, and inbound international postal streams. When an international package arrives in Taiwan and clears border inspection, Chunghwa POST frequently handles the final leg of local delivery. Foreign postal operators transfer items directly to Chunghwa POST at international exchange centers. Tracking status updates usually refresh once the parcel receives an acceptance scan at the local postal sorting facility, following the package through local transport hubs and final home or branch delivery.

How long shipping to Taiwan takes
Transit times for shipments arriving in or traveling across Taiwan depend on the country of origin, transportation method, and customs activity. While domestic deliveries within Taiwan usually take only a few days, international parcels pass through several logistics stages including origin dispatch, flight schedules, border processing, and regional last-mile distribution.
| Route | Typical window |
|---|---|
| Within Taiwan | typically 1 to 3 business days |
| Mainland China to Taiwan | typically 4 to 8 business days |
| United States to Taiwan | typically 6 to 12 business days |
| Japan to Taiwan | typically 3 to 7 business days |
| Europe to Taiwan | typically 7 to 14 business days |
Windows are typical, not guaranteed. Customs, weather and peak season stretch them.
Taiwan address format
Address formatting in Taiwan generally arranges details starting with the recipient name, followed by the street address, district, city, and postal code. Postal codes in Taiwan utilize either a standard 3-digit system or an expanded 5-digit system for specific delivery routes. Placing the postal code accurately alongside the city and district name ensures smooth sorting by Chunghwa POST and local couriers.
Postcode shape

0 is any digit, A is any letter.
Tracking number formats in Taiwan
International packages arriving in Taiwan via postal networks generally follow the Universal Postal Union S10 tracking standard. This standard uses a 13-character structure consisting of two letters at the start, nine numeric digits in the middle, and two letters at the end indicating the origin or destination country. Items posted within Taiwan or sent internationally through Chunghwa POST typically feature the country code TW at the end of the code. Express parcels and private logistics operators may assign alternative numeric or alphanumeric tracking structures.

Patterns vary by carrier and service. Paste whatever you have and we will detect it for you.
Customs and import charges in Taiwan
Every package entering Taiwan from an overseas merchant or individual sender must complete customs inspection upon arrival. Border control officials inspect shipping documentation, contents descriptions, and declared item values to ensure regulatory compliance. During heavy shopping periods or when physical inspections are required, tracking status updates may pause for several days while the shipment awaits paperwork processing.
If import duties, statutory taxes, or administrative fees apply to your package, customs authorities or the handling carrier will notify the recipient directly. The receiver may need to complete real-name authentication or provide supplementary documentation through official registration systems before the item is released. Once requirements are met and charges are settled, the parcel returns to the carrier network to finish final delivery in Taiwan.
We deliberately quote no thresholds, rates or fees here. Import rules change with weeks of notice, and a number that is out of date is worse than no number. Check the current position with the seller or the carrier handling your parcel.
How delivery actually works in Taiwan
Last-mile parcel delivery in Taiwan is fast and reliable, supported by dense urban residential layouts and integrated service networks. Shipments assigned to Chunghwa POST are delivered directly to homes, office buildings, or post office branches. In multi-story apartment buildings, security desks or building management frequently collect parcels on behalf of residents, while pickup options at neighborhood convenience stores offer additional flexibility.
- Convenience store collection
- Recipients in Taiwan frequently choose convenience store pickup, retrieving parcels using personal identification and an order code.
- Apartment security reception
- Residential buildings and gated communities commonly have management staff or front desk security personnel accept deliveries for residents.
- Signature required items
- Registered post and valuable express packages usually require a physical signature or digital confirmation upon delivery.
- Delivery attempt notices
- When a direct delivery attempt fails, Chunghwa POST leaves a paper collection slip directing the recipient to pick up the package at a nearby post office branch.
How long is normal in Taiwan?
It is normal for parcel tracking to experience multi-day periods without active status updates, especially during international transport or import processing in Taiwan. Understanding typical processing timelines can help you determine when a delay is normal and when action is required.
Days 1 to 3
The parcel is collected and processed at the origin export hub. Inactive tracking updates during initial air cargo movement are expected.
Days 4 to 7
The shipment arrives in Taiwan and enters customs review. Tracking status may remain unchanged until customs approves release to Chunghwa POST.
Days 8 to 14
If tracking shows no activity for over a week after arrival in Taiwan, verify if customs identity verification or additional information is required.
After 15 days
Contact the merchant or carrier to start a parcel enquiry, as the shipment may be delayed by incomplete address details or outstanding customs duties.
