QUOTE(RookieDaddy @ Oct 19 2009, 08:17 PM) susuman, not sure where you get the 30%+10% from if declare as flashlight, but there are no separate HS codes for flashlight nor torch, you can lookup HS code from our custom website. if you are tax, then it's a 10% sales tax and no other. Oh, thanks for the info, you seems to work in custom, as old newspaper saying, do custom scan parcel individually? Just curious, not that I am going to import dangerous goods. old newspaper, with any luck, if the parcel is small, you may just get it thru without any issue. but do know the HS code in case you need to fill-in for declaration. some info in pm. Btw, hear that thing from a flashacholic importer But maybe you could enlighten us with more info, so we are better prepared, members don't have to listen to hear-says  |

Best is to ask Philightsophy, how he talk to the KLIA customs regarding his Lumens Factory order.

QUOTE(susuman @ Oct 19 2009, 06:02 PM) With any info, already 6 Group Buy, we are really group of crazy flashacholic, anyway, not into the GB, because 2 AA is not my liking length/style, happy to see you guys ordering anyway. When the customs call you or send a letter, make sure you have you HS code ready. Then no need to worry. 10% only. I can give you the code if you need or get from Rookiedaddy. =) Btw, old newspaper, are you sure 10 pcs no issue with custome, I bet they might hold up the parcel and tax 30%+10% if they declare as flashlight (heard that declaring as TORCH has only 10% sales tax). I am not sure about these importing, but my hunch is that 1-2 unit in soft/bubble envelopes will not be tax, but in a box parcel I think very likely. Just 1 cent. Anything above RM 1000 will most likely be intercepted. QUOTE(old newspaper @ Oct 19 2009, 07:16 PM) my most prefer light shall be 18650 setup....but this Vantage looks promising with it's physical outlook and the beamshot. and someone quoted before that ' Lumapower's reflector is one the best in the industries'. Order have not been made yet as i haven't start collecting the $$ from interested buyer here... hope Ricky could release some info on this by tomorrow. Haha! I disagree (lol! But I'm biased)i have no experience with custom before, but definitely i'll ask Ricky to declare this as torch sample and valued it at below USD50 for all the items... i'll be getting my first group buy of Xeno this few days....less than 5 pcs. but that was using shipping with DHL...i'll see whether tis will be held up with custom or not.... maybe pester your fiancee to get it for you as the early Christmas present? oooh..... i'd just received a good news from Rob - my Raw Ns and Wee Ns will be dispatched out before this Thursday ! I still think the best reflector is Inova. =D Then the Quarks. (See? Told you I'm biased.) Quarks might have a upper hand cos you still can see the 16 squares of the K2 TFFC on the Inova if you really look hard (took me weeks of staring) but I like the floodiness. =D QUOTE(RookieDaddy @ Oct 19 2009, 08:17 PM) susuman, not sure where you get the 30%+10% from if declare as flashlight, but there are no separate HS codes for flashlight nor torch, you can lookup HS code from our custom website. if you are tax, then it's a 10% sales tax and no other.

They wanted to tax me 30% + 10%!! old newspaper, with any luck, if the parcel is small, you may just get it thru without any issue. but do know the HS code in case you need to fill-in for declaration. some info in pm. |
