Taiwan Import Profile

IEEPA Duty Refunds for Taiwan-Origin Goods

The Supreme Court’s February 20, 2026 ruling in Learning Resources v. Trump held that IEEPA tariffs were unlawful, opening $166 billion in refunds across 53 million entry summaries and 330,000 importers of record. U.S. importers of Taiwan-origin goods are among the eligible. CBP’s CAPE system is actively processing refunds through Phase 1 and Phase 2. Phase 3, covering finally liquidated entries, is targeted for late July 2026.

IEEPA Rate — Taiwan-Origin Goods
32% IEEPA rate on Taiwan-origin goods during the March 2025–February 2026 duty period.
HTS Chapter 99 — Filing Note
Taiwan-origin entries carried IEEPA HTS Chapter 99 codes at 32%. Semiconductor and electronics categories from Taiwan represent some of the highest per-entry IEEPA duty values in the entire program.
Semiconductors & Integrated Circuits

Taiwan is the world's dominant semiconductor manufacturer. TSMC-sourced chips and Taiwan-assembled ICs imported by U.S. tech companies carried a 32% IEEPA rate — among the highest per-unit duty values in the refund program.

Electronics & Computing

Laptops, servers, networking equipment, and precision electronics assembled in or routed through Taiwan. High per-entry values with significant IEEPA refund potential on each unit.

Precision Machinery & Tooling

Taiwan's precision manufacturing sector exports CNC machines, machine tools, and industrial equipment to U.S. manufacturers — high-value entries with strong per-entry refund recovery.

Bicycle & Sporting Equipment

Taiwan is the world's leading exporter of high-end bicycles and cycling components. Significant IEEPA duty exposure at 32% on high-value specialty imports.

⚠️
Important for Taiwan-Origin Importers: Taiwan-origin goods are not subject to Section 301 duties. The 32% IEEPA rate was the primary additional duty during the March 2025–February 2026 period and is fully refundable for eligible entries through CAPE.
CAPE Filing Status

Which Phase Covers Your Taiwan-Origin Entries?

CBP is processing IEEPA refunds in three phases. Your eligibility depends on your entry liquidation status and whether a Type 09 reconciliation entry has been filed.

● Phase 1 — Active

Unliquidated & Recent Entries

Entries not yet liquidated, or liquidated within 80 days of your CAPE Declaration filing date. Open since April 20, 2026. Applies to all origins including Taiwan.

● Phase 2 — Active

Reconciliation Entries

Entry Types 01, 02, 06 flagged for reconciliation with no Type 09 filed. Open since June 29, 2026. File CAPE Declaration before Type 09 — sequence matters.

● Phase 3 — Late July 2026

Finally Liquidated Entries

Entries liquidated more than 80 days ago. Under DOJ’s current position, Phase 3 is limited to importers who filed individual CIT lawsuits. ~4,000 qualify.
