How to track a parcel in Taiwan
To track a parcel in Taiwan, enter your tracking number above. Our system automatically detects the courier assigned to your shipment and displays every update on a single timeline. Whether your parcel is arriving from overseas or traveling domestically across Taiwan, you can follow its progress through local sorting hubs, customs clearing points, and last-mile carrier handoffs without switching between different tracking platforms.
How parcels move in Taiwan
Parcel delivery across Taiwan relies on an efficient network of postal operators, private express couriers, and extensive logistics systems connected to local convenience stores. Domestic shipments generally travel quickly across major cities such as Taipei, New Taipei, Taichung, and Kaohsiung. Because Taiwan combines dense urban centers with mountainous interior zones, local courier networks use established highway routes and high-speed transit links to move goods between northern and southern distribution hubs.
International packages arriving in Taiwan usually enter through major air cargo facilities at Taoyuan International Airport. Once air cargo is unloaded, shipments move to customs processing facilities before being released to local couriers. Cross-border e-commerce represents a large share of incoming small parcels, with residents frequently receiving packages sent from overseas sellers across Asia, North America, and Europe.
When an international package reaches Taiwan, the origin carrier hands the item over to a domestic network for final clearance and delivery. Chunghwa POST handles standard global postal transfers, while private logistics providers like ctc-express, Famiport, Maple Logistics Express, and Taiwan Pelican Express process commercial express and specialized delivery routes. Tracking your parcel through these handoffs helps ensure you know exactly which local logistics network is carrying out the final step.
The national post
Chunghwa POST serves as the official national postal administration in Taiwan. It processes standard inbound international mail, EMS express packages, and domestic postal items. When an international package sent via a foreign postal service arrives in Taiwan, Chunghwa POST takes over physical custody after customs release. The carrier operates an extensive network of post offices, sorting facilities, and neighborhood delivery routes across the main island and offshore territories. Tracking numbers assigned by foreign posts retain their visibility in the Chunghwa POST tracking system once the initial import scan is logged in Taiwan.

How long shipping to Taiwan takes
Transit times for shipments arriving in or moving across Taiwan depend on the origin location, chosen service tier, and customs processing speed. Domestic deliveries between major cities are typically fast, whereas international cross-border shipments require extra time for flight scheduling and import checks. Adverse weather conditions, holiday backlogs, and customs inspections can extend these estimated windows.
| Route | Typical window |
|---|---|
| Within Taiwan (Domestic) | typically 1 to 3 business days |
| Mainland China to Taiwan | typically 3 to 8 business days |
| Japan to Taiwan | typically 3 to 7 business days |
| United States to Taiwan | typically 6 to 12 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
Standard postal addresses in Taiwan follow a structured sequence starting with the postal code, followed by the administrative region, city or district, road name, section, lane, alley, and house or building number. When addressing parcels in Western script, the line order moves from specific recipient details up to the city and country.
Postcode shape

0 is any digit, A is any letter.
Tracking number formats in Taiwan
Tracking numbers used for deliveries in Taiwan vary based on whether the item travels through the public postal system or a private express carrier. Inbound international postal packages following the Universal Postal Union standard feature a 13-character alphanumeric format ending in the country code TW. Domestic express couriers and specialized logistics providers often assign unique numeric identifiers ranging from 10 to 14 digits.

Customs and import charges in Taiwan
Every package entering Taiwan from an international origin must go through customs inspection. Upon arrival at the port or airport cargo terminal, the parcel receives an arrival scan indicating that import documentation is being reviewed. Customs authorities check the declared package value, contents, and receiver information. During busy sales periods or seasonal peak months, processing times at the customs terminal can take longer than usual.
If duties or taxes are assessed on your import, the local delivery carrier or customs clearance partner will contact the recipient. Notifications may arrive by SMS, app notification, or letter, depending on the carrier handling the clearance. Payments are usually collected upon delivery or processed through designated local payment channels before the package is cleared for final transport. Recipients should verify current import rules and allowance guidelines directly with the seller or official customs portal.
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
The final stage of delivery in Taiwan is highly efficient, taking advantage of a dense urban infrastructure and an extensive network of 24-hour convenience stores. Receivers in Taiwan often have multiple options for accepting parcels, ranging from direct home delivery by traditional postal carriers to pickup at neighborhood retail outlets.
- Convenience store pickup
- Many residents choose to have packages delivered to local convenience store chains like Famiport collection points, allowing pickup at any time of day.
- Attended residential delivery
- Standard home deliveries by Chunghwa POST, Taiwan Pelican Express, or Maple Logistics Express generally require someone to be present to sign for or accept the item.
- Building security collection
- In urban apartment complexes, package delivery staff frequently leave parcels with the building guard or management office upon signature.
- Redelivery and collection notices
- If a carrier cannot complete a home delivery, a paper notice or digital message is provided detailing how to schedule redelivery or pick up the package.
How long is normal in Taiwan?
It is common for tracking updates to pause at specific stages, especially while a package is in international transit or awaiting customs clearance in Taiwan. A quiet tracking page does not automatically mean your parcel is lost. Understanding the standard operational timeline helps avoid unnecessary concern during routine transit delays.
Days 1 to 3
The package is being processed, sorted, or prepared for export at the origin facility. Initial tracking status changes may take up to 48 hours to appear.
Days 4 to 7
International transit is underway or the item is awaiting customs inspection in Taiwan. Gaps in updates are normal while the parcel moves between transit hubs.
After 10 days
If no new tracking scans appear after ten business days, check whether customs requested import verification or contact the merchant to confirm tracking details.
After 20 days
Extended delays usually indicate an issue with customs clearance or missing documentation. The sender should initiate an inquiry with the origin carrier.
Tips for parcels in Taiwan
Include the correct postal code
Always provide the full 3-digit or 5-digit postal code to help local sorting facilities route your parcel without delay.
Add a local phone number
Ensure your contact number is printed on the shipping label so local couriers in Taiwan can contact you for delivery coordination.
Check store pickup notifications
If choosing convenience store drop-off, monitor your text messages for the arrival alert and collection code before visiting the store.
Verify recipient name accuracy
Match the parcel recipient name to your official identification, as ID verification is required when picking up items at retail collection points.
