Imports or exports suspected of trademark infringement can be
detained by Taiwan's Customs according to the "Regulations
Governing Customs Measures in Protecting the Rights and Interests
of Trademark."
Under the said Regulation, the proprietor of a registered
trademark may seek to have an infringing import/export detained by
filing a written request with Customs along with supporting
materials/information including (1) the fact of infringement as
well as a description of the infringing goods' identifiable
features; (2) name of the exporter/importer, name of the goods,
import/export ports, date, number of flight or ship, number of
container, storage venue of the goods; and (3) the Certificate of
Trademark Registration. Customs shall notify the proprietor of a
registered trademark whether the information submitted is specific
enough for acceptance, and shall provide rationales if the request
is dismissed.
