Hi Coolweb,

Are you looking to SELL crates of masks to a buyer in Taiwan, or are
you looking to DONATE them to the SARS control effort?

Also, I suspect that knowing where you are shipping FROM would make a
difference in how this is answered. Let us know.

Thanks - K~

Note: I do not work for google.

The popular model where I work in Hong Kong is the 3M 8210. Ordinary
surgical masks are also popular.

3M is a giant US company. There is a phone numbers on my box, for
technical support 1-800-243-4630.  They can probably give you a sales
agent number.

As to taxes, documents, etc., I have no idea.

I hope this information is helpful.
