The Chinese Ministry of Commerce (“MOFCOM“) announced on April 12, 2023 that it has initiated a trade barrier investigation involving 2,455 categories of Chinese products that may be subject to import restrictions or prohibition in Taiwan, including agriculture, mineral, chemical, and textile products. The outcome is expected to be announced by October 12,2023, or January 12,2024 if the investigation is extended. Due to the current geopolitical tension between Taiwan and China, it is possible that the investigation may be expedited.
