# Taiwan to add advanced AI chips and servers to its export control list, making unlicensed shipments to China prosecutable

## Retrieval answer

Taiwan plans to add advanced semiconductors and AI servers to its export-control list, according to Economics Minister Kung Ming-hsin.

Taiwan plans to add advanced semiconductors and AI servers to its export-control list, according to Economics Minister Kung Ming-hsin. The proposed controls concern exports to China and would align some Taiwanese rules with US restrictions under the Taiwan-US Agreement on Reciprocal Trade.

Kung said unauthorized shipments of equipment on the list could lead to criminal charges under Taiwan’s Foreign Trade Act. Taiwan already requires permits for sensitive technologies, particularly those with possible military uses, but advanced AI chips and servers are not specifically covered by the proposed restrictions today.

The report cites an August case in which prosecutors indicted nine people over an alleged scheme involving 130 AI servers; authorities said 74 were allegedly sent to China through third countries using false documents. Charges in that case included breach of trust and document forgery rather than an offence specific to unauthorized AI-hardware exports.

The source does not give an effective date for the planned controls. It also does not specify the chip or server performance thresholds, licensing criteria, final legal text, or whether the measures have been formally adopted.
