It that true?? Must find a day to confirm this by buying a RM 500 stuff.

the declaration form on my parcel stated 5600yen freight,
and 13246yen for items...if x 0.37 = 490, that was close...

lucky by the time i place order there were several item no stock yet, else....

But when they happens to tax you, they include the shipping charges into the tax. Meaning if it's RM700, with 10%, that's RM70 of tax, not just tax on the item cost itself.

I see... I wonder all these are proven already or not?

So far, I import all parcel below RM 500 all turn out fine. Exceed RM500 I never try before unless it is proven.

postage fee are not part of custom calculation, you can petition to custom supervisor/higher officer if such calculation befall on you.

Hmm..serious? Afaik..then the customs wanna charge you tax, they will consider everything including shipping fee and insurance fee if there is. I've spoken to many custom officers, even those in Penang and KL and they all say the same..

usually that isn't the case, unless you going with freight/container shipment... as that will be included as part of the item/product cost... while normal parcel delivery isnt

i might be wrong unless there's actual custom officer around to give comments on this, heh

Shipping/freight charges are included in tax calculation.... not a custom officer, but dealt with many.

Example ... item with 0% tax can be moved/imported with a container, even the cost of shipping the container there is not taxed. Example: personnel things or computer equipment.

Added on April 7, 2011, 5:46 pmI think you meant SAL Parcel, right? SAL registered/non registered, dimensions are the same.

Shipping cost is calculated in, there is no argument in that, if they did not... then lucky you.

Yes, SAL Parcel which is registered...

or maybe i just get them at local DIY shop...

Hi,

Does anyone have experience buying figures which cost RM600 (including EMS shipping) but did not get taxed?

Thanks!

If you're lucky to escape..... I'm sure many have escaped being taxed, pure luck....

Yea... That is before the tragedy on Japan. But now after the tragedy... I'm not sure edi... Maybe they start to seriously check liao? Of course their main purpose is to check got radiation or not la...

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could share some advice on something I just encountered. I ordered some World of Warcraft figures (totalling up to USD 5X), excluding shipping from the US, but instead of receiving my shipment, FeDex sent me a letter, saying that they need an exemption letter from KPDNKK before they release my shipment.

When I called FeDex up, they said that for incoming shipments of Toys, that we were suppose to apply for exemption letter, something to do with the Toy act which came into play August last year. I was wondering if this is a norm? Does it take very long for the exemption letter to be issued?

Another thing about the letter which bugged me (the most) was the fact that I am getting taxed from customs for the shipment. The last page of the letter says that my total was RM 15X (for the toys) and RM 384 for the Freight charges, which is ridiculous to me since I only paid USD 24 for the shipping. As a result, I'm being taxed RM 5X. Are they allowed to jack up the freight charges just to tax me?

under 14 y.o toys... yes, new gov. rule.

Jacking up freight, No, show them the charges....postage/cost/invoice... proof

Ok, so in theory, in shouldn't be taxable if the total is less then RM 250, right? May I know where this limit is stated in our tax laws so that I may argue with them?

dam,
this time really screwed.

expecting a RM900 worth of parcel with freight 200 coming next month

placed order yesterday and think that my items slightly below RM500 at HLJ...
after their midnight server maintenance....several item on my waiting list "suddenly" become available,
thus included in this shipment order i just placed....

tried email them for separating the items into 2 package..

sux ordering system + sux customer services = gg

Hmm..I thought they will only ship out your order few days after your order is confirmed. I guess you should have time to ask them to make separate shipments..

Btw have they shipped your item? I guess not

yeah they juz dun giv a dam, as i know they still take few day only ship it.
their reason will always be "your cred card has been charge"...
so might there any changes the charge will be different so they refuse to do so zzzzzzzzzzz hell
