That is provided he bring in for you. If he sent by post/courier you will still be subjected to customs examination and possible hold up. One trick you can use ask him just to send you the phone with an alternative box and all accessories opened up. In this way it will resemble a set not meant for resale. I use this when I bought a PDA ( worth US500) from ebay and same time under declared it at US300 - the unit I received I noticed was  with Msian customs stamp,  opened and checked but I need not pay a single sen extra

VAT is applicable once you buy in UK irrespective where you wish it to be sent in UK. VAT is not necessary if set is directly exported out from UK. If you buy in UK and declared it at airport leaving the country, you can claim back the VAT paid. I have 2 children in London ( one working and another studying ) - they'd been buying stuffs for me from UK. Infact my daughter said she can buy for me if I can wait till year end  when she plan to come back.

There's no way u can escape the tax. They even open up gift now.

I've already asked my friend about it.

His scenario was:

He asked his friend in the state to buy an iphone for him. Send it back as gift. held by custom. and had to pay the tax and also the sirim permit. it was rm 215 that time. No chance.

But sometimes if u're lucky, u can escape it. it's sort of like.. chance or luck == wouldnt want to bet on that.

well i know u cant escape the tax. i would probably have to pay some when i get back from there...

im just asking how much would i get back from the VAT coz i duno the pricing...

thats normal, i just woke up to see that i had to go through 10+ pages the last time i commented sweat.gif

but seems some ppl are quite not satisfied with the phone. i can sort of understand it since they paid alot of money for it.

nw im seriously considering to whether or not just to buy the SGS II here or in UK next month hmm.gif

200 is like just an estimation larh....

if u walk into it malls, sgp, or those so called "scratch-proof" might cost a wee bit over 100rm, they r quite a shark though
