My parcel has finally arrived 2day... Pos Malaysia called me up and asked me to declare my parcel at the kastam... am wondering how much will i be taxed for clothings imported from China??

Seller told me that i wont be taxed for marine shipping as they covered all taxes imposed on marine shipping. And as i know, seller also did not include any receipts in the parcel. However, those are all new clothings which cost abour RM1.5k. These are all for personal use only, as my colleagues and friends combined shipping to save on postage...

Can i be exempted from being tax? Or can i declare a fake amount so i wont be taxed that much??? Are they gonna believe it since everything is from China??? Otherwise, everything's gonna be more expensive than wat we bought... which is not gonna be value for money anymore..

thanks!

No i dont think you could exempted from being taxed, you cant declare fake amount, you have to show them to proof that the goods are genuine and its for your personal use. Dont say its for your business..you might have to pay "gift" the officers..

Happy that your items have arrived. All the

Er... i dunno how to deal with it... but i've asked a Male frn to help me to get it from the customs. I dunno how he's gonna tell the custom and i don mind paying some "gift" as long as it's not too much... hehe... Thanks!!!

Most likely you will not be giving the "gift" if you mention that its for your personal wear.

like it or not, personal or for sales, still taxable.
pay up n they will release it.

Yea i know... just hope that it wont be too much...

By sea, to be exempted from tax, total price include shipping must be below RM250.
By air, to be exempted from tax, total price include shipping must be below RM500.

That's all I can say.

hmm still need to pay tax, if the item already open probably can negotiatie for personal use, if not just declare the fake amount. this day all custom are very straight and tough (makcik kastam maaa)

Thanks guys!
