In the domestic market, most goods can already be imported freely, although the automotive sector is still protected by regional import quotas and will be affected by the opening of Taiwan's market to vehicles from the US, Japan and Korea. Other local industries that will need to improve their competitiveness in response to WTO entry are electrical appliances, heavy electrical engineering, papermaking and foodstuffs.
至於內需市場上，除汽機車尚有限制採購地區的進口管制，其餘產品均已開放自由進口，除了國產汽車工業將因美、日、韓等國汽車開放進口，受到波及，家電業、重電機工業、造紙與食品業，也是需要因應、與提昇競爭力的行業。
