Interesting. I presume you want to do the “once-only-duty-free-import-of-a-personal-vehicle” thing, right?

Ben wrote some useful info, although it relates to cars. Don’t know whether you can do the same with a bike.

@Ben

There is only one way you can get a car into Taiwan tax free. The requirement is that you are a Taiwanese citizen, and you went abroad to study/work. When you return, once in your lifetime, you are allowed to bring in one car tax free. The said car has to have more than 10,000 miles on the odometer, and the previous registration must have been in your name for at least two years. This only exempts you from the tax. You still will need to pay shipping and inspection fees. There’s actually a big business where importers will pay people to use their names. These people usually qualify, but have no plans of ever bringing a car back. You might want to look into one of these companies. You’ll have to pay them a fee, but it will probably be less than the tax. I’m not exactly sure how they get around the registration name thing though.

You should read the rest of that post and the whole thread anyway. You should also read Plasmatron’s post on the import process for bikes here;
