need some advise here.

i purchased 4 jerseys from kitbag with the total value of £64.35 plus £6.95 shipping fee. it was 0.8kg as stated in the tracking website.

UPS called up to inform that i need to pay the tax of RM 209.80

i need advise here. my total purchase is below RM 500 and below 1kg. in fact is abt RM 400 and the tax is ridiculously high. as i read from the previous thread:

"And here comes the important part. Any goods with a declared invoice value of RM500 or lesser is not dutiable, irregardless of how high the actual tax, ie. 40% or 50% tax. So its safe to say that if your purchase value is below RM500, you won't need to pay any form of tax."

is there any way for me to be exempted from the tax? can i refuse to accept the item. if yes, what will happen?

thanks in advance.

first of all, thanks for the advise.

i requested for the tax form from UPS but she sent me the invoice.

just to confirm, what i need right now is the tax form from the customs right?

ok got hold to the tax form now.

FOB : RM 351.69
Freight : RM 222.30
Insurance: RM 3.52

CIF = RM 577.51

just curious why is the freight charges so high. is there anything wrong with it? being taxed under 6205.09.000. is that correct? remember seeing in previous thread that the code is 6109.90.000. will that make any differences?

advices appreciated

from the invoice of kitbag, no freight or insurance was stated. the only amount stated in the invoice is Invoice Line Total : 64.35 and Total Invoice Amount : 64.35 GBP.

just for clarification, freight charges on the tax form should match the amount of shipping fee i paid for? yes, i paid 6.95 GBP.

@rosicky_return, i see that u place order from kitbag every 2 weeks. have u encountered any tax issue before this? thanks.

just a quick update here for those who read/tried to help out. thanks for the advices.

didn't manage to run away from the tax, however kitbag did refund £40 to me. happy ending after all. learnt a pain lesson as well.

by the way, will it look weird if i apply the lextra NN on kids XL size jersey? will the NN be too big for the jersey?
