KAOHSIUNG & TAOYUAN — TAIWAN'S GATEWAY TO THE WORLD

Kaohsiung is Taiwan's largest container port and one of the busiest in Asia, while Keelung and Taichung serve the north and centre of the island. Taoyuan International (TPE) is a leading air-cargo gateway, connecting Taiwan's semiconductor, electronics and precision-machinery clusters — including the Hsinchu Science Park — to global networks.

From Taiwan, ocean freight reaches Türkiye in an indicative 28–34 days, the UAE in 16–20 days and Northern Europe in 30–36 days. Air cargo from Taoyuan reaches Istanbul in a direct flight of around 11 hours. All transit times are indicative and depend on the carrier's service loop. Canxansa manages end-to-end shipments from Taiwanese factories — customs, freight and last-mile delivery under a single point of contact.

Common Questions

FREIGHT FROM
TAIWAN — FAQ.

What is the fastest way to ship from Taiwan to Türkiye?

Air freight from Taoyuan International (TPE) to Istanbul is the fastest option — a direct flight time of around 11 hours, typically 1–2 days door-to-door. Sea freight from Kaohsiung or Keelung to Mersin or Istanbul takes an indicative 28–34 days via the Suez Canal and is the most economical mode for large volumes. All transit times are indicative and depend on the carrier's service loop and routing.

How long does sea freight from Taiwan take?

Indicative ocean transit from Kaohsiung or Keelung: Taiwan to Mersin/Istanbul 28–34 days via Suez; Taiwan to Jebel Ali (UAE) 16–20 days; Taiwan to Rotterdam or Hamburg 30–36 days; Taiwan to Shanghai 3–5 days. Transit times depend on the shipping line's service loop and number of port calls. LCL consignments add 3–5 days for consolidation and deconsolidation.

Which ports and airports do you work with in Taiwan?

Sea: Kaohsiung (TWKHH) — Taiwan's largest container port — Keelung (TWKEL), Taichung (TWTXG) and the Port of Taipei (TWTPE). Air: Taoyuan International Airport (TPE), one of Asia's leading air-cargo gateways. We arrange pickup from any location in Taiwan, including the Hsinchu and Taichung science and industrial parks.

Do you handle semiconductor and high-tech cargo from Taiwan?

Yes. Taiwan is the world's leading producer of semiconductors and ICT hardware, and most high-value chip and electronics cargo moves by air for speed and security. We handle careful, insured air-freight movements from Taoyuan (TPE) with full export documentation, and FCL/LCL sea freight for bulkier machinery and finished goods.

What export documents are needed from Taiwan?

Standard export documents: commercial invoice, packing list, HS code classification, an electronic export declaration via Taiwan Customs, bill of lading (sea) or airway bill (air), and certificate of origin where required. Strategic high-tech goods may require additional export permits. We advise on documentation before shipment.

What goods are commonly exported from Taiwan?

Taiwan's leading exports include semiconductors and integrated circuits, electronics and ICT hardware, machinery and machine tools, precision instruments and optical equipment, and bicycles and components. High-value chip and electronics cargo typically moves by air, while machinery and bulk goods move by sea.

Do you offer LCL groupage from Taiwan?

Yes. We consolidate LCL (less-than-container-load) cargo from Kaohsiung and Keelung for shipments that do not fill a full container, as well as full FCL loads in 20' and 40' containers. We advise on the most cost-effective option based on your volume and deadline.
