It's not safe unless it's traceable and insured. And yes, there's a big risk kastam will get involved.
With all the costs involved you are better off getting an official local Wii, which are US versions as well. I don't think your brother would make any loss by selling the Wii there.
AFAIK, local official Wii (from maxsoft) is already the UAE version, but it's still on NTSC/U firmware thou...With all the costs involved you are better off getting an official local Wii, which are US versions as well. I don't think your brother would make any loss by selling the Wii there.

try fedex. i usually use that and kinda can skip customs, i think.
If you're lucky... and for most of the time, those thing with value over RM400 is hard to escape the greedy customQUOTE(ramz @ Aug 2 2009, 11:50 AM)
nothing can escape customs! unless u know people in customs. tax is about 20% of the wii. it will probably be the same price as getting it here after the tax. maybe a bit more coz u chosing fedex (expensive courier service). but since your brother paying, go ahead la. apa u rugi
I once imported something worth RM800++ from US, using UPS next day deliveryCustoms didn't kacau me
I was lucky then...but my other fren who imported RM300 stuff also using UPS next day delivery wasn't so lucky, he kena tax 30% on his stuffs.
It's all base on luck actually
