According to Bureau of Animal and Plant Health Inspection and Quarantine (BAPHIQ), if you have visited an infected country of an animal infectious disease within 14 days prior to entering Taiwan, then after entering Taiwan, you must change clothes, take a shower, and thoroughly disinfect yourself. In addition, you must wait at least 7 days before visiting a livestock farm.
If it is necessary to carry animals, plants and the related products, please consult relevant quarantine regulations in advance and honestly declare quarantine to customs or BAPHIQ upon your entrance.
