general information
In Taiwan, the Council of Agriculture (COA) of the Executive Yuan is the main competent authority for the domestic agricultural, forestry, fishery, animal husbandry and food affairs. Established by the COA, the independent inspection and quarantine authority, the Bureau of Animal and Plant Health Inspection and Quarantine (BAPHIQ), is responsible for all phytosanitary and veterinary affairs, including the implementation and supervision of import and export inspection and quarantine operations.
ATTENTION: It is possible that some importation requirements may not be published on these websites, or that some regulations may be available online in the Chinese language only. Exporters in the Netherlands are recommended to always check sufficiently with their importers in Taiwan in order to be equipped with all necessary importation documents prior to shipment of the consignments.
