About Chunghwa POST

Chunghwa POST is the official national postal service of Taiwan, managing an extensive infrastructure of post offices, sorting facilities, and distribution logistics across the island and outer island territories. The organization handles everyday letter post, domestic registered mail, parcel delivery, and express logistics for individuals, retailers, and major e-commerce merchants.

Beyond domestic operations, Chunghwa POST serves as Taiwan's primary gateway for international post, working in partnership with the Universal Postal Union network. International outbound shipments, including International Express Mail Service (EMS), standard airmail, and surface parcels, are dispatched through key processing hubs before being transferred to foreign national postal authorities for final-mile delivery worldwide.

Where Chunghwa POST delivers

Chunghwa POST provides complete coverage across Taiwan, including Penghu, Kinmen, and Matsu islands. Internationally, it routes packages globally through direct airline connections and international postal exchanges, handing off parcels to partner postal services such as USPS, Royal Mail, Japan Post, and Australia Post for final delivery.

Know your number

Chunghwa POST tracking number format

Chunghwa POST uses standard Universal Postal Union (UPU) tracking number formats for international mail and unique numeric formats for domestic items. Standard international items typically feature a 13-character alphanumeric pattern ending with the country code TW. International Express Mail Service (EMS) usually starts with the letter E, registered airmail starts with R, and heavy parcels typically start with C. Domestic registered parcels in Taiwan often consist of a 14-digit to 20-digit numeric sequence without country code letters.

Format example

  • EE 000 000 000 TW
  • RR 000 000 000 TW
  • CP 000 000 000 TW

Patterns vary by service. Paste whatever you have and we will detect the carrier for you.

Is this normal?

How long is normal for Chunghwa POST?

Brief pauses in tracking updates are normal for international mail. A lack of new scans does not necessarily mean your package is lost. Here is what to expect during different phases of the delivery process.

  1. Days 1 to 3

    The item is moving between local collection branches and sorting hubs in Taiwan. Scans may appear every few hours as processing occurs.

  2. Days 4 to 10

    For international shipments, items are transferred to international flights. Tracking updates often pause while the parcel is in flight or waiting for import scan at the destination country.

  3. After 14 days

    If an international airmail parcel shows no movement for over two weeks, check your local national postal operator website or contact the sender to verify customs status.

Troubleshooting

Chunghwa POST tracking not updating?

Tracking updates can stop for several reasons during international transport. Most delays are temporary and resolve once the package is scanned by the next sorting facility or customs authority.

International transit gap
No scans will occur while your package is aboard cargo aircraft or waiting in airport holding areas prior to import processing.
Customs clearance review
Destination import customs may hold shipments for spot inspections, tariff assessments, or paperwork checks.
Handoff to local post office
Once a parcel leaves Taiwan, tracking depends on the destination postal service updating their own system.
Weekend and holiday pauses
Processing centers and delivery routes may operate at reduced capacity during public holidays and weekends.

What to do next

  1. Check the tracking number on your home country's official post office website for updated destination scans.
  2. Verify that your full delivery address and contact details on your order receipt are accurate.
  3. Allow extra processing days after major global holidays or severe weather disruptions.
  4. Contact your merchant or seller if tracking remains unchanged past the estimated delivery timeframe.
Cross-border

Chunghwa POST customs & handoffs

International parcels sent via Chunghwa POST undergo export customs checks in Taiwan before being handed over to international air or sea transport lines. Once the package lands in the country of destination, it passes through import customs where local duties and taxes may apply.

Following clearance, the package is received by the destination national postal service, such as USPS in the United States or Deutsche Post in Germany, for final distribution. Parceltracking.com bridges this handoff by displaying updates from both Chunghwa POST and the delivering postal carrier within a unified timeline.

Practical

Tips for tracking Chunghwa POST parcels

  • Save your receipt format

    Keep your postal lodgment receipt until delivery is complete, as it contains your unique UPU code and postage details.

  • Track with local post after export

    Once the scan shows arrival at destination exchange, check your local post office site using the same standard 13-character code.

  • Monitor customs alerts

    Watch for status updates mentioning customs clearance so you can quickly pay any required import duties or taxes.

  • Use auto-detect for simplicity

    Paste your code into parceltracking.com to seamlessly follow your shipment across national postal handoffs without switching websites.
