Ok, what if bringing the silver coins ou of the country? No tax, right?

coins. but apparently some of us didn get taxed. the item just got delivered straight to them. no tax whatsoever. so hopefully no tax. hehe

Nope.
But not sure the other country is gonna charge you or not.

Other country won't charge you.
They will charge the buyer.

lucky lor.

Received some coins from Chef! Nice transaction with him. Businessman who honour his words. Didn't take opportunity to jack up the price even if he can do so. Recommended seller.

Just a quick update, the current listing in the website are:
9 listing for sales
10 listing for wish item

note that some listings contain more than 1 item for sales

My baseline is 30usd and hope it will stay there till at least end month

I read this from SLS that any purchase of silver coins that are less than RM500 are not included for the tax of 30%.

Is this true?
Anyone can clarify with own experience?

Tax is 15%.
I think this is somewhat true if your item is less than rm500 and sent through air, it wont be taxed. If by sea, it still will be taxed. I overheard the officer explaining this to a guy.

But it also depends on your package size.
I just got my Gilded and Colored Dragons from the Customs detention nearby LCCT.
Since my order consist of 7 coins, the package is quite big. It attracts the attention of the customs officer to hold it.
I went there personally to clear it since it is my first time, I also want to know how they work.
FYI, the package from Perth Mint is sealed properly and it was declared as 'Metal Sample' instead of Silver Coins. But the value of the parcel follows the invoice from Perth Mint.

The parcel wasn't opened, but instead they asked me what's inside. I told them it's silver coins. They say tax is 15%. After going through several counters to pay and clear this thing, lastly they asked me 'Don't you want to check the parcel, see if everything is inside?'

I was like, ermm, they wanna see what's inside, but they don't want to force me. Never mind, I just open and show them the coins.

Nevertheless, I know some friend who order from Perth Mint also, but in smaller quantity, around 3-4 coins only. He wasn't taxed.

Based on this experience:

1) Order your package in small quantity. Right now Perth Mint offers minimum purchase of AUD75 to get free shipment. Make use of that offer. I know I am.
2) If you can negotiate with the seller to under-declare the value (put it at the spot price) or declare the item as gifts, it will also help.
3) Or you just can save the hassle by just buying bars...

i do see a lot of traffic has been migrated from lowyat to facebook sls and facebook lowyat gold + silver.
well, yesterday did house work then check my email later, aiyah just miss the boat (price manipulation) when price
drop to USD32/-, I have make some price alert . Just miss by 1 - 1.5 hour lah.
when i login at 10 pm it was at USD33+
next round lah.

Haha, pray that it will drop, haven't been able to read up on world news to see what is effecting the price fluctuation. Anyone has any insights or news?
