In response to disputed cases among the public arising from the increase in cross-border consumption in recent years, such as declarations with false identity, shopping scams, and circumvention of import regulations, Taiwan Customs has launched the “EZ WAY/Real Name Authentication (RNA)” APP since September 2018. Importers of express consignments can verify the customs declaration information imported in their name on the APP, and send feedback on whether the goods and prices declared to Customs are correct. EZ WAY integrates the information of multiple parties involved in customs clearance in the supply chain, simplifies the handling of customs declaration authorization issues, and protects the personal information of the public. Benefits of the APP also include reducing the compliance costs derived from legal authorization and preventing unscrupulous businessmen from impersonation and false declaration.
