The Customs Administration of the Ministry of Finance stated that in order to prevent illegal smuggling, the customs has been committed to improving the customs clearance environment for express goods in recent years. The promotion of the real-name authentication system has shown results so far, effectively preventing false declarations and implementing taxation; In 2011, the customs will continue to implement and promote the "cancellation of air express and bag customs clearance" in accordance with the planned schedule, in order to strictly guard the border for the whole people and protect the health and national security of the people.

The Customs Administration of the Ministry of Finance stated that in order to continuously improve the convenience of using the EZ WAY APP and expand the applicable objects, a special task force was established at the end of 2010 to strengthen supervision and urge APP builders to actively optimize the user interface and increase the functions required by the public. 110 A number of important functions have been completed in 2019: For example, it is open to foreigners holding residence permits. About 50,000 foreigners have registered to use it, which effectively improves the convenience of foreigners living in Taiwan; A total of 19.6 million paper tax bills were issued to implement the government's energy conservation and tree protection policies.

In addition, as of the end of 110, the number of EZ WAY APP registrations has reached more than 4 million, and the real-name authentication rate of simple import express declarations has reached 85%, which has greatly reduced the illegal acts of false declarations and tax evasion by breaking up customs declarations. 110 The number of frequent taxation cases and the amount of annual imports have grown significantly from 10.89 million and NT$323.5 million in 2019 to more than 23.04 million (111%) and 755.72 million ( 133%).

In order to prevent unscrupulous people from illegally hiding and smuggling imported firearms, bullets, drugs or pork products from African swine fever-affected areas, the customs has promoted the cancellation of air express delivery and bag customs clearance measures. In order to give the industry a period of adjustment and adaptation, gradually reduce the number of semicolons of bills of lading that can be cleared in one bag. Since December 1, 2010, the number of bags in one bag has been limited to no more than 20 pieces. So far, customs clearance has been smooth; since this (111) year From February onwards, the number of combined bags shall not exceed 10. The customs will pay close attention to the customs clearance situation and increase manpower in time to maintain the speed and quality of customs clearance.
