oic, apart from this, will be any other thing to take note?
I feel like customs officers will "kacau-kacau".

wow. so much different between msia n singapore. I'm doing renovation for my house. need a lot stuff related such as tub, sink, shower etc. any idea how to bring it in without been tax?

Singapore stuffs (non-food) r generally higher in quality. For electronics n IT, Singapore is definitely 20% cheaper easily. For food, Malaysia is easily 50% cheaper. This has something to do w Singapore as a trading hub n food is highly perishable items.

hi bro and sis here, i would like to know if i buy second hand ice cream machine from singapore, put in my car and drive in to jb custom, would it be taxes if its for own use??it's table top ice cream machine about 100kg...pls advise. many thanks

Recently I went bought a sink, they didn't even check. Crossed at Tuas

i just bought my new Samsung WM front load by end of year wanna shift from JB to S'pore, due to SGD currency higher than MY to become MY stuff more cheaper than SG now... )

maybe r u working in sg? Sorry i am not so familiar tuas was it the link near woodland? which link is easier without check if i bring in machine from singapore any idea?

many thanks..

No I'm in Klang Valley. I purposely drove down there to buy it
There are two checkpoints. The old one at Woodlands and new at Tuas
Tuas cost a bit more on the highway toll but faster. I went in thru the old Woodland checkpoint and the jam was terrible

According to the sifus here they said Tuas easier to pass. I took their advice

With the recent increase in toll and entrance fees, the purchase need to be really cheap or rare items.

oic, but how about malaysia custom? r they going to check? or we can just drive in and show passport only? If they found i bought the used unit but witout receipt, r u going to tahan my machine? or we should ask seller to issue receipt with lower value just in case?

thanks

If you go back few pages we talk about possible trick.

we are talking about Malaysian Customs la, SG side where got care what you take out
if the machine looks old, then just say your friend gave you as present

table top ice cream maker, about 120-150kg, quite big eh, but in malaysia quite expensive due to 40% import taxes duty whereas singapore much cheaper and somemore used unit even cheaper at least few thousand so worth to go down to move it or you guys know any forwarder who do moving from singapore to malaysia?

table top not so big right? i think you will have no problems getting it thru Tuas

30in x 30in is not so big but 100-150kg dead weight - can your car suspension take it?

mpv livina do u think can take it? if kena tax custom will see receipt to tax us right, probably can ask seller issue one lower value receipt? i bought around sgd2000, issue receipt sdg500 u think reasonable? coz it's used unit!

Is quite obvious to use MPV, since they got clear window.
Guess Civic, Altis, Lancer or D-segment cars will be better option.
