The route from Taipei to Xiamen offers significant advantages for transporting automobiles across the Taiwan Strait. Utilizing ocean freight allows for the efficient movement of passenger vehicles, reducing the risk of damage associated with overland transport. Additionally, this maritime route provides ample capacity for large shipments, accommodating bulk automotive cargo with ease. The strategic location of both ports enhances accessibility and connectivity for international trade.
Taipei's port is equipped with modern facilities designed to handle automotive shipments, ensuring that vehicles are loaded and unloaded with precision. Xiamen also boasts advanced port infrastructure, featuring dedicated terminals for automotive cargo that streamline the import process.

When shipping from Taipei to Xiamen, anticipate significant delays during the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November). Add extra buffer days for port operations and utilize waterproof coverings for cargo during peak rainfall (June-September). Avoid tight transshipment windows and consider flexible routing options to mitigate disruptions. Additionally, communicate closely with local agents during the Lunar New Year (late-January to mid-February) and Golden Week (October 1-7) to manage potential congestion and reduced capacity.

Preparing passenger vehicles for international shipping demands a full wash and dry, removal or securing of all loose items, Checking for fluid leaks, and ensuring the battery is properly fastened. Most export agents recommend leaving about a quarter tank of fuel, fully charging the battery, documenting existing damage with photos, and providing all required vehicle and customs documentation before the carrier collects the vehicle.
Rules on shipping personal items inside Autos differ between domestic and international moves. Many international carriers do not allow household goods inside passenger vehicles due to customs and security regulations, while some domestic haulers allow small quantities if they are below window level and securely fastened. We recommend confirming with your carrier in writing and understanding that personal items are often not covered by standard cargo policies, and they can complicate customs inspections.
To reduce moisture and rust risk for Autos, most carriers suggest starting with a completely dry vehicle, sealing all openings, and avoiding storage under sprinklers or in standing water. For longer or ocean shipments, using humidity absorbers inside the Vehicle, applying Temporary corrosion protection to vulnerable metal parts, and choosing covered carriers wherever possible will significantly cut condensation and corrosion risk.
Standard carrier liability for Vehicles is usually capped and may not reflect the true value of your passenger vehicle. Insurance brokers recommend purchasing All-risk cargo insurance that covers theft, impact damage, and moisture-related issues such as corrosion or water intrusion. Provide an accurate value, share recent photos and condition reports, and confirm that loading, unloading, and any storage periods are covered under the same certificate.
For international Auto transport, you typically need clear title documents, a purchase invoice, a copy of your passport or company registration, and export/customs declarations filed in advance. Some destinations also require homologation or conformity certificates. We recommend checking destination-specific rules well before shipping to avoid delays, extra storage charges, or refusal of entry.
The documentation typically required includes a bill of lading, commercial invoice, export license from Taiwan, and customs declaration forms for both Taiwan and China.
Seasonal weather patterns, such as typhoon season from June to October, may affect shipping conditions and should be taken into account when planning shipments.
