Base on EVERYONE speciality about SIRIM. I would like to enquire.

As i just ordered a 1 Dual XGPS160 SkyPro Bluetooth GPS receiver (Link) for personal use. However it was detained by JB custom. Which I meet them today.

Thus they require me to go to SIRIM tomorrow, with the device manual book. Would I have to pay anything? or would they impose any tax base on your experience? and how much would it be?

$187.75 (Total cost of item) = $145 (Item cost) + $42.75 (US postage)

This is my first time. This suck! rclxub.gif

Bluetooth stuff should be needed for SIRIM.

Yeah, just settled it.. Had to pay RM100. However, once completed i had to go back to the custom, where they would ask to PAY another 10% from the overall total price. Bringing a total RM 16X.00 rclxub.gif

I don't understand why it would get taxed? SIRIM should be okay? isn't it?

SIRIM would check whether the device do follow malaysia rules. Which is stupid on my view, as they never look the item face-to-face.
Once done, they would ask you to pay RM100 for a slip which you would bring to the custom. From there they would use the referral number provided on the slip displaying the tax that you have to pay. mad.gif
