Just to let forumers know, based on these few times experiences, I found that, if you buy BDs with value and shipping charges (in this case is priority shipping) greater than RM500 from Amazon US, if Amazon US choice UPS to send your parcel, you will often (or can I said always) get import tax. Is it because UPS have warehouse in KLIA so customs officers like to visit that place? This is bad news.

The good news is the tax, according to latest BF invoice and previous invoice, the tax is payable by shipper which I think is Amazon US agent not me since I am consignee. Based on this latest case, my parcel kena 10% tax which is about RM80+, but I need not pay anything. Their not even called me just delivery my parcel as usual. Based on this and previous experiences, Amazon US will not subsequently charge me if their didn't collect import tax deposit in the first place. Which didn't happened in my cases. In those cases, Amazon US never ask me to pay import duty deposit.

So, should we said UPS suck? Since DHL never has this problem even value beyond RM500 and happened many many times in my case.

Anyone have similar experience? and I think 10% tax is a bit wired. If I remember correct, it should be 15% tax, right? Anyway, not my problem.

So, is that mean, in future, if your parcel value more than RM500, you can pray for Amazon US ship your parcel using UPS. Another new Golden rule.

no guarantee 1 ...

Amazon US seldom use UPS send my parcel. I think not more than 5 times. But I already experienced 2 times kena tax for my parcels. Once is Bond 50 since include other BD too and another one is this time BF parcel. But both case, no require me to pay anything.

Amazon UK also did sent my priority parcel once but not BD is some electronic product. Since total value less than RM500, their didn't tax that parcel. I saw their statement.

In my previous company, we have centralized purchase of IT equipments from oversea to our Asia Pacific offices, and from my experience, having own warehouse, with resident custom is actually better than no warehouse. This is because most of the resident custom know the warehouse people, and sometime will close one eye.

Like some forumer mention, don't buy goods + delivery charges total above certain value, this will risk getting tax, sometime if lucky it will release without tax. When I buy from oversea, I try ask the buyer to undervalue + shipping <= 100 USD. For Amazon I can't, so I only buy goods with shipment ,=100 USD. If greater I usually ship to Singapore and arrange someone I know to send back.

So far I have not heard that custom will charge the sender because is impossible to collect from them. Is the final destination address that got to pay. Your case, it could be UPS have settle for you, maybe custom close one eye.

UPS invoice said "SHIPPER PAYS ALL CHARGES". Shipper is not Amazon too. Funny.

But from Resit Rasmi issued by Jabatan Kastam Diraja Malaysia, it is attention to agent, some Sdn. Bhd. in our Malaysia. Maybe is those company handling customs declaration.

Shipper pay all charges may not include tax.

I have this when importing IT equipments in. Best of all, the power cord are taxable, and my KL company got to pay for it, not much is only RM 2.00, which cause the entire shipment of 10 of thousand ringgit value of notebooks delay.

And when buying IT equipments, anything with communication, Fax, GSM, Router, etc on the items / description, ALL need special permit. Even RM 1 buck also you can't get it in.

My Golden Rule for all this is simple... if you want to avoid custom tax at all cost:-

- edited and removed -

no lah it's unethical, I've removed it

If you like just 7 or 8 of the Bond series, it is already better value to get the box set when it is at a discount as in the recent BF. The price of buying the movies individually plus shipping cost per disc will likely add up to more than the price of the box set (plus there's an extra bonus disc).

The only draw back (if it can be considered one) is that you'd not have a keep case (and the artwork) for each of the discs/movie. The box set houses all the discs in 2 widescreen "books" with slits within the pages to slide the discs in and out.

Few days didn't update myself, I miss this news. Hope still useful now.

hmmm... looks like they've changed a bit here and there of the Rimowa briefcase... and they add cost to the retail price? well now that I've sapu Thor & Capt America during BF last week while already owned Iron Man & The Incredible Hulk; chances of me still wanting to purchase this case has become slimmer & slimmer by the day...

But if you already order last time. their still recognized that cheaper price.
