Features and Advantages

As of 2024, Taiwan continues to strengthen its trade relationships with key global economies, particularly within Asia and North America. Taiwan’s primary export destinations in 2024 include China, the United States, Japan, Hong Kong, and Singapore. Recent trade data indicates that Taiwan exported goods valued at approximately $85 billion to China in 2023, $45 billion to the United States, $30 billion to Japan, and $25 billion to Hong Kong. Major exports to China consist of electronics, machinery, and petrochemicals.

Cost of shipping from Taiwan worldwide

Cargo from Taiwan

With a variety of shipping options available worldwide — each with its own pricing model — understanding your choices upfront can save you time and money. That’s exactly why the Agora Freight online calculator was created. This fast, transparent tool helps you compare shipping rates, empowering you to select the most efficient and budget-friendly solution for your business.

Sea Freight:

For those who prioritize cost-effectiveness, ocean freight remains the most economical option for international shipments. For instance, a full 20-foot container (FCL) from Taiwan to the US typically costs between $2,800 and $4,800, while a 40-foot container ranges from $4,500 to $7,500. Freight transportation from Taiwan to Germany may be slightly less expensive, with costs ranging from $500 to $900 for a 20-foot container, reflecting shorter distances and established trade routes. If your shipments are smaller, Less-than-Container Load (LCL) is a flexible alternative. LCL shipments from Taiwan generally range from:

  • $90 to $170 per cubic meter for Taiwan to Germany and France
  • $110 to $210 per cubic meter for Taiwan to the US
  • $100 to $180 per cubic meter for Taiwan to the United Kingdom

Note: prices depend on seasonality, cargo specifics and port fees.

Air Freight:

When speed is critical, air freight provides rapid delivery, albeit at a higher price point. Rates typically range from $6 to $14 per kilogram, depending on the origin and destination. For example, air freight from the US to Taiwan may cost around $7 to $11 per kilogram, making it ideal for urgent or high-value shipments. Always assess whether the quicker transit time justifies the increased cost for your shipment.

Cheapest Shipments from Taiwan:

If you’re specifically looking for the cheapest way to ship from Taiwan, sea freight remains the top choice, especially for large volumes. Using the Agora Freight calculator, you can quickly compare rates from various origins, including China, Germany, and Brazil, to find the most cost-effective route tailored to your needs.

Simplify your shipping from Taiwan with the Agora Freight online freight rate calculator — your transparent, all-in-one tool for comparing instant freight quotes across all transport modes, including multimodal solutions. Make informed decisions and choose the best shipping option for your business with confidence.
