The Customs Museum was established on Taipei's Tacheng Street on November 14, 1996. Unlike other traditional museums that operate on a sufficient budget and are run by an adequate staff, the Customs Museum is affiliated to the Directorate General of Customs, under the Ministry of Finance.
一九九六年十一月十四日海關博物館在北市塔城街十三號成立時，不像一般專業博物館有充足的預算與人力，而只是附屬在財政部關稅總局轄下。
