Taipei Customs reminds all inbound/outbound passengers that anyone carrying the following items must declare them to Customs upon each arrival and departure in accordance with Anti-Money Laundering Regulations for Cross-boarder Declaration and Reporting. False declaration may result in fines or confiscation of the goods.

1. NTD Cash: Total amount exceeding NTD100,000.

2. RMB Cash: Total amount exceeding RMB20,000.

3. Foreign Currencies (Non-NTD/RMB): Total amount equivalent to more than USD10,000.

4. Bearer negotiable securities: Face value more than NTD500,000.

5. Gold: Total Value more than USD20,000

6. Diamonds, precious stones or platinum (not intended for personal use): Items value at more than NTD 500,000.

Taipei Customs further explained that the value of gold is not based on the passenger's original purchase price. Instead, it's determined according to the selling price of a 1-kilogram gold bar published on the Bank of Taiwan website on the passenger's date of entry/exit. As international gold prices have surged recently, passengers are advised to pay close attention to price fluctuations to avoid exceeding the statutory limit.

Taipei Customs also reported that from January to August 2025, there have been 26 seizure cases involving money laundering items, such as cash, gold and other items. The value of the confiscated items, including foreign currencies, has exceeded NTD6.79 million. The seized gold weighs 2.023 kilograms with a market value of more than NT$7 million.

Taipei Customs urges passengers carrying cash, gold, diamonds, precious stones, and/or platinum exceeding the aforementioned limits must declare these items voluntarily. For further information, passengers may visit the Customs Service Counter upon departure or consult customs officers at the Red Channel (Goods to Declare) upon arrival.
