Every cross-border trade decision,
backed by data
TradePilot is a free AI-powered trade tools platform that helps importers get HS Code classification, full 8-layer tax estimates, and compliance information in seconds — no tedious manual research required.
Why TradePilot?
Taiwan's import tax calculation is among the most complex in the world, and the information is highly fragmented.
Data scattered across government sites
Customs, MOF, and BOFT each maintain separate systems. Looking up one item means visiting three different websites — time-consuming and error-prone.
Tax calculation is complex and layered
Taiwan imports can face up to 8 layers of tax: customs duty, commodity tax, tobacco/alcohol tax, health surcharge, VAT, trade promotion fee… each with a different base, and a wrong calculation directly hits your bottom line.
HS Code classification is a high barrier
12,700 CCC tariff codes, many with ambiguous definitions. Misclassification can trigger back taxes or customs delays — most importers cannot do this reliably on their own.
Taiwan Low-Value Import Exemption
Dutiable value of NT$2,000 or less is exempt from customs duty, commodity tax, and VAT. The exemption no longer applies after the same recipient has more than 6 duty-free clearances in 6 months, and it does not apply to tobacco or alcohol. TradePilot helps shoppers and businesses estimate landed costs.
Our Approach
Official data + AI, free for every importer
Official data sources
Tariff rates, exchange rates, and import regulations come from Customs Administration open data — no manual transcription.
AI-assisted classification with transparent GRI reasoning
A cascading 3-round AI classifier, combined with RAG vector search over historical pre-classification rulings. Every result includes a full GRI reasoning chain so you know exactly why the AI chose that code.
Confidence scores — no over-promising
Green / Yellow / Red confidence bands clearly tell you which results are reliable and which need further verification.
