The Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI) under the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Taiwan region, has formally revised the inspection regulations for secondary lithium-ion power products. The new regulations will be fully implemented on July 1, 2027, and the old standards will be abolished at the same time. The unified import supervision code for all applicable products is C02. Triggered by frequent safety incidents such as spontaneous combustion and explosions of portable power banks, this revision mainly adds new safety test items and updates certification standards, as well as tightens control over certificates and product markings. Enterprises that fail to complete rectification on schedule will have their certificates revoked in accordance with the law, making it impossible for their products to enter the Taiwan market normally.

On May 28, 2026, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) officially issued Announcement No.11 of 2026, releasing the 2026 Revision of the Catalogue for Restricted Substance Compliance Control of Electrical and Electronic Products and the 2026 Revision of the Exemption List for Restricted Substance Applications under the Compliance Control Catalogue. Both documents took effect upon release, while the old versions specified in Announcement No.15 of 2018 were abolished simultaneously.

Nowadays, wireless Bluetooth and Wi-Fi label printers are widely used in supermarkets, warehouses and e-commerce packaging. Many manufacturers face product removal, official inspections and lost orders after mass-producing and launching new products. Most enterprises overlook SRRC (State Radio Regulation Committee) Radio Equipment Type Approval, the mandatory entry threshold for wireless devices. For label printers with wireless transmitting functions, this certificate is not optional but an essential qualification for legal operation and market expansion.

Many Bluetooth headset manufacturers and cross-border sellers have encountered the same trouble: after preparing large batches of goods and shipping them to the EU, the cargo gets detained by customs and cannot be listed on e-commerce platforms. In most cases, the root cause is the lack of mandatory EU CE-RED certification. In the European market, wireless Bluetooth headsets fall under radio frequency electronic products, and CE-RED certification is a rigid market access threshold. No matter how good the product quality is, it cannot circulate without a valid compliance certificate.

Portable summer small home appliances have continued to gain popularity. Neck fans stand out for their light weight, hands-free design and excellent cooling effect, ranking among top-selling products with sustained high sales volume. However, the booming industry is accompanied by stricter market supervision.

As the consumer and industrial drone markets continue to boom, cross-border trade and logistics transportation of drones have increased year by year.
