I think yours have been confiscated by MOH. Herbal supplements need registration with MOH. There will not be problems if you purchase 1 or 2 bottles. If you buy in bulk, it would be classified as illegal import even though for personal use.
Did you receive a letter from MOH? |

QUOTE(whypurplishblue @ Jul 9 2010, 10:05 AM) I bought 4 bottles. So far I haven't received any letter. Called up the courier and they said just have to wait cause its still at kastam. In that case, I think you have to wait for clearance. If it was confiscated, MOH would send you a letter. So if its confiscated, I should received a letter from MOH?  Usually custom clearance is pretty fast if you are not tax. |

I never had problem with that. Mine usually arrived within 2 weeks. The fastest was 5 days. Got confiscated once when I bought 10 bottles of assorted products. 700+ gone. I don't buy more than 2 bottles now.

Don't waste your time going there. You cant get them back once they are confiscated.

QUOTE(brian_3214 @ Jul 10 2010, 11:28 PM) bro...the RM700+ is the confiscated product? not that you just pay the taxes and they should give you the goods? then if order those whey protein from Bodybuilding.com, still possible to get through without being held / confiscated / being taxed??? Whey protein is a food product. So there is no problem.would love to learn more about this...thanks bro...

There's a catch though, this is valid ONLY if you have a life threatening illness. For those who managed to import in supplements successfully, did you use normal post? I heard that using couriers increase the likelihood that it would be confiscated. A friend did that for her daughter who was suffering from leukemia then. So far there is one guy here who managed to get in unregistered products in successfully. He is selling the products on this forum. Most of the time the sellers used normal mail when I bought online. I just received 2 bottles of melatonin. This post has been edited by 4Rings: Jul 14 2010, 08:20 PM |

Depends on your luck. Caffeine in supplements is banned in malaysia.

QUOTE(chilskater @ Jun 13 2013, 11:47 PM) Use the cheapest method will saved you from Kastam..10-20days to arrive n must check with Pusat Mel within that time..if DHL,must go through clearance..I ordered many time using cheapest method(below rm300),no problem..order two times using DHL one go through mo prob n 2nd one they put warning letter inside my parcel...so how to apply license to import herb/supplement?btw I ordered Now Hawthorn Berry,good for hypertension.. You can't apply a license to import herbal products. You need to register the product or products with the Pharmaceutical Department. The process may take up to 2 years and it would cost a few thousand bucks per product. Once approved, you will be given MAL # and you can import them legally. |
