u r rite bro....i was the one trying to be smart but actually extremely stupid at the end, cause i just went to double check the HLJ box, got printed the total cost of products on the box too BUT excluded the shipping cost....
so the point here is, pls keep ur invoice(email or fax) inside ur car just in case needed and get the Customs office to read the total cost which printed on the HLJ box....in my case i can save to pay the 15% tax of 1220yen

No offense bro, my area here the local post office custom charge me RM78.00 for PG Strike Gundam and Skygrasper. One big box.. i think it's kind of no standard tax charge in malaysia.

I think mostly depends on the custom officer on duty lol.. if you're lucky then you get charge a bit lor.. if not ler.. SHIT lor..

Note: PG Strike Gundam -- 14,000 Yen
PG Skygrasper -- 5,000 Yen

no worries bro...just info sharing only
i still think that there will be some kind of guideline, but i was told by the office is 15% tax for toys, before i went there i also called them up to find out the tax too, the same was told, 5%+10%(forgot wat tax), but in total still 15% tax.

Bro, I support you with the 15% tax for toys!! same here..

300 (if not mistaken) ringgit or above are applicable to 15% tax (5% import + 10% sales), however, sometimes they will pick on the size of the box, bigger size boxes are easier to get stopped by the custom~

last month i went there and saw a printed notice beside the collection counter, stated that goods below RM200 may not be taxed, but again it is up to the officer, if the luck is not on ur side, even RM10 tax also u hv to go all the way there to pay, this was told by the officer

agree with u, bigger box is easier to grab the officer attention

we cant do anything bout it ?? i mean suka hati those officer tax us even though no need tax one ??? or this is malaysia ???

Anyone order items from HLJ and the items already shipped one month ago but not yet receive them ???

anyone know where to get this, n cheap? thanks

natsuki kuga, from mai hime

if u choose SAL as shipping option, it migh take more then 1 month to arrive.

just wait for another week. if still no sign of it, then better goto u local Pos Office to ask. Coz maybe nobody at home when time of delivery.
