Legal support for companies and individuals doing business in Taiwan.
Contact UsThe US-China trade war and the COVID-19 pandemic have reinforced to many businesses the importance of a diversified supply chain, and many of our clients from all over the world that are moving manufacturing out of China are moving some or all of that to Taiwan. This process predated the current US-China trade war, and companies in the information and communications technology (ICT) industries have long favored Taiwan for its rule of law, intellectual property rights protection, strong supply chain and logistics, highly skilled labor force and higher levels of productivity and quality control. In addition, there is very little corruption in Taiwan, and Taiwanese companies have a well-deserved reputation for reliability and trustworthiness. Labor and overhead costs can be higher, but especially labor costs have escalated in China over the past decade, and in some cases Taiwan may even be less expensive. And of course, products from Taiwan typically face lower tariffs than those from China.
Taiwan’s USD586 billion economy makes it the United States’ 10th largest goods trading partner, with bilateral goods and services totaling an estimated USD103.9 billion in 2019. Taiwan’s top exports include electrical equipment, machinery, computers, plastics, medical apparatus and mineral fuels.
The Taiwanese government offers investment incentives and continues to upgrade the country’s physical and digital infrastructure, factors that contribute to increasing U.S. foreign direct investment, which totaled USD 17.4 billion in 2019, a 4.8% increase over 2018.
