Taichung Customs stated that, in recent cases, importers declared anti-dumping duty rates applicable to specific manufacturers; however, the manufacturers listed were not among the companies announced by the Ministry of Finance with individual duty rates. Investigation revealed that this was due to manufacturers changing their company names without notifying the Ministry of Finance.

At present, the Ministry of Finance has announced 10 categories of products subject to anti-dumping duties, including: Portland cement and clinker, printing plates, float glass, ceramic tiles, certain aluminum foil, SUS 300 series flat-rolled and cold-rolled stainless steel products, towels, certain flat-rolled steel products plated or coated with zinc or zinc-alloys, carbon steel plate, and benzoyl peroxide. In addition, beer and certain flat hot-rolled steel products originating in China are temporarily subject to anti-dumping duties for four months starting from July 3, 2025.

Taichung Customs reminds importers that only products manufactured in the exporting country and directly exported by the announced individual companies are eligible for individual duty rates. If such companies change their names, they must apply to the Ministry of Finance for a name change in order to continue enjoying their applicable individual duty rates. Furthermore, anti-dumping duties apply to goods directly imported from dumping countries, goods transshipped via third countries, and goods produced in third countries but exported from dumping countries to Taiwan.

For clarification on the scope, applicability, country of origin, or duty rates, importers are advised to contact the local customs office before importation, in order to ensure correct declaration and safeguard their rights.
