I asked my family member in London to buy some designer hand bags and courier it to me in Malaysia. May I know:
1) The recommended courier company.
2) How do they charge the courier fee for London to my home address in Puchong ?
3) Will there be any issue or tax with the Malaysian custom for lady's designer hang bags like Gucci, LV etc ?

Thank you.

Parcel with items worth of RM500 and above will be taxed. =(
Maybe you can ask your family in London to declare it as gift, never try it though.

Refering to your inquiry on the above matter, the explanations are as follows:

For your information, hand bag is subjected to 20% duty import and 10% sales tax. Pertaining to other charges such as insurance and freight, you should contact the DHL to enquire more information.


We hope that you are satisfied with our explanation.

I'm not sure whether it is still worth it to buy the designer handbag in London judging from the high logistic cost and taxes.
By the way, 20% import duty + 10% sales tax = 32% total ?
10% sales tax is calculated on the total sum after 20% import duty or before import duty ?

for your information above, i guess is after 20% import duty.

so far, i didn't tried purchase bag at UK website before so i do not know how there gonna charge the taxes  hmm.gif

for US, last time before i start my spree, i forget to declare my item in to lower then RM 500 So i kena tax by custom for my 2 coach bag and a victoria secret bag which is cost me RM 260+  sweat.gif

Which forwarders your are using  in UK ?

It's 20% + 10%. Not sure the 10% sales tax is base on after duty price or before duty price though.

My family member is buying directly from the boutique in London and courier it over to Malaysia.

I don't know too.. I haven't found a place to buy cheaper bags, takut fake lagi.. Hehe..
Is it worth buying bags from US? smile.gif How many percent cheaper than in Msia?

For Gucci or LV, my sis told me Paris is cheapest.
