β Frequently Asked Questions

Personal items already in use are typically duty-free. However, if they are brand new (unopened) or the quantity is excessive, customs may consider it for commercial use and require taxes. Keeping purchase receipts is recommended.
What should I consider when bringing Apple AirTag?
The most important thing when bringing Apple AirTag is to confirm if it exceeds the duty-free allowance or declaration threshold of your destination.

β More Questions
Will my European hair dryer or shaver work in Taiwan?
Only if it supports 100β240 V dual voltage. Taiwan runs on 110 V / 60 Hz with Type A/B sockets, so a 220 V-only appliance will underperform or fail. Phone and laptop chargers are almost always dual voltage β you just need a plug adapter.
Can I fly a drone in Taipei?
Not in most of the city. Taipei is inside the Songshan Airport control zone and much of it is a no-fly area; Taipei 101 and the riverside parks are restricted too. Register your drone with the CAA, check the official Drone Map app, and stick to designated zones outside the city.
