In light of the increasingly dynamic global economic and trade environment, accurate country－specific export data is indispensable for understanding Taiwan’s trade relationships and developments with various economies. Such data serves as a critical reference for the government's international trade negotiations. To ensure the reliability and precision of trade statistics, Customs Administration urges exporters to accurately declare the “destination country and code” when submitting export declarations.
Pursuant to the Export Section of the Customs Manual for Advance Cargo Declaration and Clearance, Box 9 of the export declaration form requires the full English name and corresponding code of the final known destination country （or region） and locality of the goods. Exporters may refer to Section 51 of the Customs-Port-Trade Operation Codes: United Nations Location Codes （UN／LOCODE） for accurate entries. For example, if goods are ultimately destined for Brno, Czech Republic （code: CZBRQ）, but are transshipped via Hamburg, Germany（code: DEHAM）, the destination must still be declared as CZBRQ, not the transit location.
To ensure the accuracy of country－based trade statistics, Customs Administration has compiled recent cases of incorrect export destination declarations. Exporters are hereby reminded to carefully review and comply with proper reporting practices. Common errors include:
1.Confusion Caused by Similar English Country Names
Exporters have, for instance, mistakenly selected DM（Dominica）instead of DO （Dominican Republic）due to the similarity in their English names.
2.Typographical Errors Due to Adjacent Keyboard Keys
Examples include entering SH（Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha） instead of SG（Singapore）,or CM（Cameroon）instead of CN（China）.
In order to maintain the accuracy and credibility of trade statistics, exporters are strongly urged to exercise due diligence when declaring the country of destination and its corresponding code. If any discrepancy or error is identified after submission, exporters are encouraged to proactively apply for a correction to the declaration in accordance with relevant procedures.
