- Customs is piloting the outsourcing of multi-stage repair, inspection, and testing operations in the free trade port area to provide convenient customs services.
- Businesses in the free trade port area certified by the Ministry of Transportation or Customs as high-quality or safe enterprises can apply to outsource repair, inspection, and testing operations to two or more external vendors.
- Previously, businesses in the free trade port area had to handle goods from overseas by outsourcing repair and inspection in a whole-out, whole-in manner.
- To save time and costs for industries like semiconductor manufacturing, which require multiple vendors for repair and inspection, businesses with high compliance levels can now apply for the pilot program to directly transport goods to external vendors for multi-stage repair and inspection.
- The pilot program aims to connect the logistics industry within the free trade port area with external manufacturing supply chains to promote industry development.
- Businesses are encouraged to apply for the pilot program, and details are available on the Customs website for inquiries.
