Items that can typically be assessed
New or used clubs, balls, bags, headcovers and apparel accessories shipped by a Chinese seller; each item still needs its own code and import-rule check.
Golf equipment from China to Taiwan: check the 11-digit code first, then arrange oversized packing
Last verified:
Definition
This page covers golf equipment shipped by a Chinese seller, consolidated at the Shenzhen warehouse and then forwarded to Taiwan.
Steps
List every item → check the 11-digit code → confirm controls → pack oversized items → declare accurately.
Comparison
Full sets, individual clubs, balls, bags, gloves and shoes are classified on different grounds and do not share a single tariff code.
Data
For the small-quantity Chinese industrial-goods permit exemption, the full declaration CIF must not exceed NT$32,000 and each item must not exceed 24 pieces; goods that cannot be counted by piece must not exceed 40 kg.
What is the scope of service for golf equipment consolidation?
We handle only China→Taiwan. Goods are received at the Shenzhen warehouse, and the Taoyuan side arranges the onward steps in Taiwan. Brands and retail channels in other countries serve only as product background; receiving, fitting and forwarding in those locations are outside the service scope.
Pause shipment first
Items with unclear descriptions, counterfeit concerns, an unverifiable transaction value, or compressed gas or other hazardous substances.
How do you find the tariff code for golf equipment?
Heading 9506 gives a classification direction for sporting goods, but customs declaration still requires the complete 11-digit code. On September 20, 2026, the complete code in force that day for a full set of golf clubs was 95063100004.
| Item | Classification direction | Information to add before declaring |
|---|---|---|
| Full set of golf clubs | 9506.31; 95063100004 returned that day | Brand, model, new or used, number of clubs, transaction value |
| Golf balls | 9506.32 direction | Material, quantity and use; then check the complete 11-digit code |
| Other golf equipment | 9506.39 direction | Do not place every bag, glove and tee here; check again by material and dedicated use |
| Golf shoes | Chapter 64 direction | Upper and sole materials, construction and size |
The heading numbers on this page only narrow the search; they are not a final declaration code or a fixed tariff rate. When classification is uncertain, apply to Customs for an advance tariff ruling before shipping.
What are the steps for shipping golf equipment from China to Taiwan?
- Break items out: list full sets, individual clubs, balls, bags, headcovers, gloves and shoes separately — “golf equipment” alone is not enough.
- Check the complete code: verify origin, material, use, the rate in force that day and import rules; eligibility to ship comes before the tariff rate.
- Confirm dimensions: measure the longest side, the three outer-carton dimensions and the actual weight; use a rigid box, head protection and internal bracing to prevent long items from bending.
- Keep evidence: for both new and used goods, retain the order, payment, product photos and condition records, and declare the actual transaction value.
- Complete the mandate: verify the items and declared amount in EZ WAY before completing the pre-authorization.
How do full sets, used clubs and accessories differ?
| Comparison | Full set / individual clubs | Bags, gloves, headcovers and shoes |
|---|---|---|
| Classification | Clubs have a clear 9506.31 direction, and a complete code is available for full sets | Judged by material, use and dedicated purpose; the club code cannot simply be reused |
| Declaration details | Brand, model, number of clubs, new or used, and transaction value | Item name, material, quantity, dimensions and actual use |
| Packing risk | Oversized length, with stress on club heads and shafts | Hard cases and soft bags, metal parts and footwear each need different crush protection |
| The 14-club rule | It only means a maximum of 14 clubs may be carried in one round | It is not a declaration quantity, a permit exemption or a shipping-eligibility rule |
How should taxes and MW0 be read for golf equipment?
A “duty range” quoted without the complete code cannot be treated as the answer for all golf equipment. Obtain the rate in force that day for the complete 11-digit code, then calculate from the customs value; the basis for ordinary import VAT also includes import duty and other charges required by law.
- Customs value: generally CIF, meaning the goods price plus freight and insurance.
- MW0 / MXX: read together with the complete code to judge eligibility; MW0 = import from mainland China is prohibited (exception: small quantities in Chapters 25–97 need no import permit if the whole declaration is within CIF NT$32,000 and each single product is within 24 pieces, with a 40 kg limit only for goods that cannot be counted; electric motorcycles, electric bicycles and their controllers are excluded, and Chapters 1–24 do not qualify).
- Permit exemption is not a clearance guarantee: other import, inspection, intellectual-property, declaration and tax rules still apply.
- Self-use is not a general exemption: the complete code, origin and import rules remain decisive.
Frequently asked questions about shipping golf equipment to Taiwan
Can used golf clubs be shipped from China to Taiwan?
They can be assessed, but you must state the brand, model, condition, number of clubs, actual transaction value and origin, and check the complete 11-digit code and import rules. Being second-hand does not mean tax-free or exempt from declaration.
Can headcovers and golf bags use the same tariff code as the clubs?
Do not assume so. Headcovers, bags, gloves and footwear may fall under different codes depending on material and use, so check the complete CCC code for each item name.
Does a 14-club set equal the declaration limit?
No. Fourteen is the maximum number of clubs that may be carried in one round of competition; it is not a customs, permit-exemption or shipping-eligibility limit.
Does MW0 mean golf equipment can never be imported from China?
Not necessarily. Check the small-quantity permit-exemption conditions and the exclusions for Chapters 25–97 Chinese industrial goods, and comply with the other import rules at the same time.
Is tapping confirm in EZ WAY enough?
Verify the actual items and the declared amount first, then complete the pre-authorization; do not confirm when the details do not match.
Break the equipment into items, then confirm oversized packing
Prepare the item list, photos, dimensions, weight and transaction records before assessing shipment from the Shenzhen warehouse to Taiwan.
