There is definitely DCC at every corner in Taiwan, but merchants are good about giving you the quote slip and selecting the proper choice. I always get the slip to make sure that the final signature slip is DCC free. The only case of "forced" DCC is the authorization hold at the Taoyuan Novotel. However, I think my best practice there next time will be to use my AmEx for the hold and another card when checking out. ^
