SUBJECT: EXBS: TAIWAN MONTHLY REPORTING CABLE - MAY AND JUNE 2008 
 
I.  BROAD ITEMS OF INTEREST TO ADVISORS AND AGENCY MANAGERS: 
 
(SBU)  Status of Transfer of Intangible Technology Legislation:  The 
Bureau of the Organic Laws and States, Legislative Yuan (LY), plans 
to review the Transfer of Intangible Technology legislation proposed 
by the National Science Council (NSC), the Executive Yuan (EY), 
according to an NSC official. With the new administration in place, 
the official said the LY is again considering the legislation which 
was originally proposed six years ago, and revised several times 
since.  She also stated that the current bill deals with controls of 
transfers of technology for national security and export control 
purposes.  She said the legislation will be given priority by the LY 
as soon as the LY finishes the FY 2009 budget bill. 
 
II. COMPLETED ACTIONS FOR THE REPORTING PERIOD. 
 
A.  SITE ASSESSMENTS AND MEETINGS DURING REPORTING PERIOD: 
 
1.  (SBU) On May 16, the EXBS Advisor made a courtesy call to the 
Deputy Director of Keelung Customs and the Chief of the Keelung 
Harbor Police.  Both organizations actively participate in EXBS 
programs. 
 
During the visit, Keelung Customs gave a comprehensive presentation 
on its operations, specifically as they related to controls of 
Strategic Hi-Tech Commodities (SHTC):  Since 1992, Keeling Customs 
has been using an automated cargo clearance system; the average 
export cargo clearance processing time is 0.20 hours for sea cargo 
and 0.14 hours for air cargo; 80.45% of sea cargo and 91.43% of air 
cargo is cleared without physical examination.  In 2007, Keelung 
Customs intercepted 105 of the 429 SHTC suspect shipments found by 
Taiwan Customs.  Lastly, Keelung Customs demonstrated an on-site 
containerized cargo examination for the Advisor.  After the cargo 
examination, the Harbor Police provided a tour of the port in a 
patrol boat to further explain its operations on the water. 
 
Both Keelung Customs and Harbor Police expressed gratitude for the 
opportunities provided by EXBS and are looking forward to 
participating in future programs. 
 
2. (SBU) On May 23, the EXBS Advisor met with the Harbor Master of 
the Keelung Harbor Bureau.  The Keelung Harbor Bureau regularly 
participates in EXBS programs. 
 
As part of the meeting, the Keeling Harbor Bureau gave a video 
briefing of the harbor management, function and services. The Port 
of Keelung encompasses approximately 5.72 square kilometers in water 
area. Port facilities are capable of accommodating Post-Panamax (a 
class of container ship with a cargo capacity exceeding 10,000 TEU) 
container vessels and bulk cargo vessels up to 60,000 tonnage.  The 
port operates with 57 wharves and has over 9,000 meters in total 
length and one main channel with a depth of 15.5 meters.  The port 
was originally founded in 1945. Keelung Harbor serves the Greater 
Metro Taipei Area and outlying regions and industrial parks.  The 
port attracts commercial vessels from all over the world and is 
becoming one of the most important ports in the Asia-Pacific region, 
according to the Keelung Harbor Bureau.

development.
