TC, the import permits are for commercial (not personal) use of the animals. You have to declare the animal with a USFWS form, and have it cleared by FWS before customs will release the package to you, which AFAIK, isn't that much of a hassle most of the time.
I don't know what the export process from Taiwan would entail. I did a quick search of approved ports of entry, and the closest one to you is Chicago. There are also special ports where you would have to pay a fee to use the service, but again, none close to you.
There are of course other ways to go about it in a legitimate manner, i.e. having it shipped to someone you know near a POE, or to a licensed dealer, and then having them ship it to you..........just depends on how badly you want it. I bet you don't want it that badly do you
