Hiya guys, is it legal for me to import an amount of branded clothings (30pieces?) into Malaysia via USPS postal service? Will the Malaysia custom confiscate my items or will they impose some taxes on my goods?

What if I don't ship the items and carry them back myself, will there be any difference? Thank you in advance.

I'm not sure which to choose yet, but I'll choose the cheaper one since time is not an issue. Will the tax imposed be ridiculously high?

Usually won't tax. I have order 10electric device in 1 huge box from HK to malaysia also didn't kena tax. It depends on what value written on the invoice. If it is to be tax it would be just 10-15% like that only.

Do you care about the price tag that attached on each piece of the clothings? If you don't, I probably can help you with that. icon_rolleyes.gif

it should be a problem witht eh lowest value as posibble for the invoice..
but sometimes it will depends on luck as they might open up ur parcel for security checking.
from there,they will check ur invpice with its brand retail price.
custom are getting smartter as they will log to the web n check for the retail price

Also depend on what kind of electronic devices they are.
