Labeling Requirements

CCOF has developed a helpful International Market Labeling Guide to explain labeling requirements for organic products sold in Taiwan. All products shipped to Taiwan must meet the Taiwan organic labeling requirements. Send all labels to CCOF for approval prior to printing.

Use of the Taiwan organic mark is prohibited for all organic products exported to Taiwan.

Organic wine and milk products have specific labeling requirements that must be met, in addition to the general Taiwan organic labeling requirements.

Send all labels to CCOF for approval prior to printing.

To learn more, read Taiwan’s organic labeling regulations along with Article 18 & 19 of Taiwan's Organic Promotion Act and visit CCOF's Labeling and Logos page.
