Keelung Customs (KLC) stated that the First Agreement under U.S.-Taiwan Initiative on 21st-Century Trade has officially come into effect on December 10, 2024. Relative information is available on KLC website.
KLC further explained that the First Agreement consists of five main areas, including Customs Administration and Trade Facilitation, Good Regulatory Practices, Services Domestic Regulation, Anticorruption, and Small and Medium-sized Enterprises. To fulfill Customs valuation advance rulings regulated in Article 2.5 of Chapter 2 of the Agreement after it came into effect, KLC has set up a U.S.-Taiwan theme area in its website and will upload de-identified cases of Customs valuation advance rulings for the public to refer to.
If advance ruling applicants do not want to disclose the results to the public due to business secrets or secret operational information, they can make a non-disclosure statement when submitting relevant forms or after the application.
