Is there any reason for tax purposes a company would stamp made in Taiwan, when the products are actually made in China?
Do you pay less tax or VAT when you import them in to the UK?
They might do it because it sounds better to the consumer, but I don't think that would be the only reason.
In term of international trade practice , "Taiwan" is technically the "Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu (Chinese Taipei)" based on the entry agreement of World Trade Organization (WTO) . It's similar to "Hong Kong" even that's a little different in legal term and tax practice.
