Hi,

From the information I gathered a few posts ago, shipping a laptop from other countries that is valued above 1k AUS is charged with tax. My questions is:

1. If I would want to bring a desktop over myself to be used in Australia(RM 3.6k) would I be charged tax?
2. Is there anything else I must take note of should I bring it back to Australia
3. How would I proceed to ship it to Australia? Is it possible to check it in as one of my luggage(AirAsia)


Destination for flight would be Perth, WA. Looking for an answer to this ASAP as I am going back on the 12th of Feb.

Called Malaysian High Comm today. They said that bringing own desktop over has no tax charges. However must write a testimonial stating that desktop is for personal use and not for sale. Must also bring the invoice for the purchase of the desktop over.

Now that's out of the way, per recommendation when reading from post 1300+, it is recommended to remove certain parts of the desktop. What concerns me however is my means of packaging my desktop. Will it survive if I just dump it back to my casing box, add lots of foam and bubble wrap it. If so where could I get bubble wrap and the fragile sticker. Going back to Perth via AirAsia as stated before so can I get the sticker at LCCT?
