How long does shipping to Taiwan actually take?

The median actual transit to Taiwan is 3 days, measured from the loaded-on-board date to the day a container was discharged at the port of discharge, as reported in the carrier's container events; half of these shipments took between 3 and 6 days and 90% took 8 days or less, across 341 shipments with a recorded discharge at the port of discharge. Unlike the estimated transit it ends at the port of discharge, with no inland leg, and it rests on fewer shipments: for most Bills of Lading bexy first reads the record after the container has been returned empty, when the discharge is no longer shown. It weights each lane by its shipment volume, over the lanes with at least 20 recorded discharges, which carry 92% of the shipments.

Loaded on board → container discharged at the port of discharge, from the carrier's container events: actual dates, not estimates. It has no inland leg, so it is not directly comparable with the estimate, and it rests on fewer shipments because most Bills of Lading are read after the container has been returned empty.

The estimate runs to the final place of delivery and can include an inland leg; the actual stops at the port of discharge.

Schedule slip vs plan

+1day median · after the planned arrival

Middle half 0 to +2 days · n = 30 shipments with both a planned arrival and a recorded discharge on these lanes, across 11 sailings

Per shipment, the day a container was discharged at the port of discharge minus the carrier's first planned arrival there — whole days, exact to within a day either way; negative means ahead of plan. Each shipment is measured against its own plan, so it is a plain count, not weighted by volume. A sailing is one vessel voyage: every container on a late vessel is late together, so the slip is shown only when its shipments came on at least 5 sailings.

Taiwan ocean freight imports

Median estimated transit is 9 days, measured from the loaded-on-board date to the carrier's ETA at the final place of delivery, or the last planned arrival when the carrier gives none; half of shipments were estimated at between 3 and 14 days and 90% at 19 days or less, across 304 shipments with a usable on-board date and estimated arrival. It weights each lane by its shipment volume, over the lanes with at least 20 measured shipments, which carry 96% of the shipments. Average transit by origin ranges from about 8 to 72 days.

Measured from the carrier's container events instead of its estimates, the actual transit to Taiwan — loaded on board to a container discharged at the port of discharge, with no inland leg — has a median of 3 days (middle half 3–6 days, 90% within 8 days) across 341 shipments with a recorded discharge at the port of discharge. It weights each lane by its shipment volume, over the lanes with at least 20 recorded discharges, which carry 92% of the shipments. The estimate runs to the final place of delivery and can include an inland leg; the actual stops at the port of discharge.

Import cargo into Taiwan is mainly discharged at Kaohsiung, Taipei, Taichung and Keelung.

Every shipment on these lanes travels on an Evergreen (EGLV) Bill of Lading and is read from the carrier's own tracking record: vessel, voyage, port milestones and per-container status, re-checked after the estimated arrival (the ETA, or the last planned arrival when there is none) until a status reports the shipment at its final destination, for up to 30 days — free, and without an account.
