XD how it works..thanks a lot guys..i dunt wanna buy it than malaysia kastam curi it for their own kid sad.gif mad.gif

If your phone is heldup at customs - you need to go to Shah Alam to apply Sirim permit around RM 250 and be prepare to pay at least 10% duty on invoice value. And count in the costs of you going to Shah Alam and than to present your docs to DHL etc to clear out . Than only DHL can sent out to you. Simply - you pay all the extra charges first before taking delivery. DHL can handle for you - but you will be charge for additional services and is not cheap ; someone quoted earlier RM 300 !!

Generally 99% Sg'rean are kiasu. But here only some. So its fair we call them kiasu ppl.

those who drive thru singapore hardly get caught by the kastams.

my father looks like a malay, mayb thats why he always just gets a waive and we can pass thru easily at johor customs.
but then again, i never see anyone got hold back in johor customs there before, not even 1 time i saw anyone, singapore customs got la, plenty of times.

but if u r feeling very nervous, u can do this
10 boxes is pretty easy actually.
store 3-4 in ur glove compartment,
2-3 down ur side passenger sit
another 2-3 down ur seat.
and if not enuf, behind passenger seats u have the middle compartment separating the 2 seats u can probably store 1-2 more.

but the best part is i couldnt give a shyt about the box, u just give me the contents of the box with the phone i puas d. even more flexible.

Good recommendation and what type of advise is this from a upcoming lawyer?? Just pray don't get caught . If kena, You will be charge for tax evasion, undeclared dutiable goods, smuggling and most probably your car will be impounded

Back to the subject, the JB customs these days is really not strict - they rarely check thoroughly unless you looks suspicious and nervous. I have been going in=out Spore 2-3 times every month for the past 15 years - Most of the time, I get a wave through - I would say they are just too " lazy" to check. But I notice a common trend - any cars non Johore registered are usually check without fail ; minimum you have to open the boot. If one drives a 4WD - you will be asked to lift up the carpeted boot to show them the storage below it

I have never used DHL to clear customs. The one time my stuff stuck, I just ask my forwarding friend in KL to help me clear it out. Of course DHL will levy additional charge to help you do all these extra work - they have to pay their runners to do it. Their charges is only for delivery to your doorstep. And I do believe it is not cheap - I said RM 300, which is from a forumer earlier who quoted this figure.
