i wanna ask about the EMS shipment cost?
is it da same like UPS?

i m thinking to get that kabuto already


help help



so tax will based on price . not on size right

the size of the package should be big

nope EMS is not the same as UPS. EMS will not take more than 5 days to ship from Japan to Malaysia as far as i had tried before.

it depend on the custom whether do they noticed that the currency is in yen or not. if he didnt notice that then sure you need to go to the custom to collect it.

y?

coz they may mistaken the yen for other currency like USD

EMS shipment cost is almost like 1 time higher then SAL lol.. Of course lah.. it's all depends on how expensive ur item will cost you... like me item below 1k~2k yen will go for SAL and normally item below 1k custom will not charge you lar.. well at least that's in my place here lor..

I would say in malaysia it's base on case to case.. can't say it for all cases!

Recently, order SD Gundam from hobbylink japan the custom didn't charge anything.. just ask me to collect the item from counter.. you'll receive one advise letter in white color to collect your item at local post office then that mean's good news lor.. (NO TAX) If you receive one orange card/advice letter then congratulation.. you KENA TAX!!!

ZOMG

4800yen = 4800 usd big diff

wow ems exspensive

some items delivery fees is higher than the item


plus together
same price with the item get locally

once i use EMS from JApan and it only took 3 days to reach KL.. the service cost me about 2400 yen..SAL is about 1800 yen...

anyone buy from toy-wave b4?


www.toy-wave.com

but the shippment very exspensive

you forgotten they charge 3 or 4 percent if you pay by credit card or paypal. toy-wave got some rare items not available in hlj or hobbysearch.

btw toy-wave offered lotsa of shipment choices compared the rest.

ya toy-wave really got some unique items


still thinking
buy or not buy

i once bought 10 same figurines worth RM500++ inc shipping from Japan, no tax by custom.

actually, your item may arrive less than 1 week but due to kastam, your things get stuck over there for another week or so.

R u sure? May I know where did u get this information?

May I know how big is the item. Did u buy insurance for it and declare it as a 500++ item?

From my kastam document and personal experience.

hi choiheng,
regarding the toys below rm500 which suppose to be tax free, can u show me where u got or read this info?
because tomorrow noon i will go KLIA to get my HLJ package which has been held back at Customs...sigh..the total amount plus shipment is around rm430..
forgot to mention that i received the "tahan" letter from Pejabat Pos of KLIA today..

well last month i went there and i saw that a board written anything above RM200 is taxable so it depend on the customs's mood.

for toys/figure, the tax is 10 percent + 5 percent on the total amount plus shipment.

btw do you used EMS because all my taxes came from using EMS.

oic, thanks bro for the info sharing
i always used SAL, this is the fifth times order from HLJ, the previous fourth times all went well

stupid HLJ order option....they thought to save the shipping cost for me and keep waiting for my preorder items to come in stock within 2 months first then only send out the shipment...

according to ur tax calculation, i think the tax i hv to pay is around rm65..

oh one more question, the shipping cost is included? i mean do i hv to pay the 15% tax on the shipping cost?

fyi, my total cost of toys is 12200yen, shipping is 1220(SAL), so in total is 13420yen..

thanks man

ok guys, i just came back from the Big damn Post Office of KLIA, in case you dont know how to get there, once u reached KLIA area, just follow the signboard of "Terminal LCC" or "Cargo", both lead u to the same place, hv to drive a bit though to reach there, then the big Post Office is easy to spot.

stop at the guard house, leave ur IC there and get a visitor pass, then drive ur car in and park at the "pelawat" parking lot, go into the row of counter and straight to counter 1(num printed in red), show the letter "tahanan" u got it earlier and get ur parcel.....later he will guide u where to go and pay, basically just go to counter by counter to check, and pay the tax....after paid the tax then get back the pass from counter 1 and go back.
throw back the pass to the guard and get ur IC back....and safe journey back to home, to me is back to office just now...

according to the office who calculated how much i hv to pay, he told me that anything also they can tax, even sometimes tax u 10bucks u also hv to go there, although there is a small notice board told that some goods below rm200 is entitled to tax free, but again depends on whether they want to call u there and tax u...

a strange thing he told me, EMS shipment below rm200 got exemption, but if u get called by them u still hv to go there to fill up a stupid declaration form to get the tax free exemption...sigh..#$%^&*
for normal shipment, anything on any amount also they can tax u...

good luck...

forgot to mention that the officer told me they will tax on the total amount of ur shipment....so is included the shipping cost and insurance and any cost listed there....also please bring along ur invoice...luckily i got bring along my HLJ email invoice there...save the time for them to check the cost of ur toys or do any estimation

The Invoice is attached outside the box boh! So no need to print out boh..

At least this my case lar.. i purchase from HLJ also..
