December 3rd, the Taiwan Ministry of Finance recently announced that it will stop collecting the so-called “anti-dumping tax” on mainland-made shoes and boots starting from January 17, 2024. Taiwanese media reported that this tax, which has been levied in Taiwan for 16 years, is about to become history. In the future, whether it is physical stores or online shopping, people in Taiwan can expect to buy cheaper shoes made in mainland China.
