rackets are fine, but NEVER order any bags. previously a friend had a case whereby he ordered one bag and a lot of other stuff. basically the bag is maybe only like 10% of the cost of the items. when came into malaysia the lazy-ass customs just apply a flat tax of 20% on ALL the items. by right even if want to tax should be bag only, but NOOOO, they taxed the whole shipment. of course u can argue lah, but that was more than 1 year ago today still in dispute.

Added on April 16, 2010, 1:51 pmsomething to add, i have this set of weird strings that i bet no one has heard of before. it's from germany (land of polys). i don't use poly so its wasted on me.

apparently its only available in europe. reviews on stringforum are actually pretty good. here http://cordageforum.net/ratings.php?sdnr=1...tatus=0&limit=5

only have one pack in 1.25mm letting it go for RM12.

yup, but dont u think its unbelievably stupid to slap a tax on the whole shipment just bcos of one item. those customs buggers are just too lazy to calculate it separately.

and if u pack it separately it would have to be a different shipment which would kinda contradict the idea of bulk shipping anyway.

also the RM500 cap, dont get me started, i have yet to see any customs officer prove to me yet on the appearance of this "law" in the tariff guide. it is either totally outside of the guide and in a separate enactment, or somebody just made this up.

Rocco, I think if all the items are packed in one box they will be taxed together.

If they are packed separately surely the other stuff are spared.
And perhaps your fren exceeded the RM500 cap.
