Veteran in visiting custom office... The invoice as attached is not the latest, the one issued on the day of shipping on your hlj account's is the last/latest invoice (with shipping cost added in). Invoice as attached to the package states the shipping as 0 yen (no different from last invoice for the paypal promo, hence the argument to proof that there are no shipping cost incurred for the promo).
As the standard practice of the Custom/Post office is to add the list of invoice's price (as attached with stated 0 yen shipping) and the EMS price as stated on the EMS sticker/label. My argument is that the cost was borne by the payment of the goods (with paypal payment proof), luckily the EMS cost is below the value of the goods, but just barely. If the shipping cost is more than goods, it'll be a big counter to my argument, and another approach would be needed then ....
p.s. free shipping promo argument does not work.I guess, every customs office is different. So far dealing with Penang customs been pleasant for me.
But I do notice the stamp in my parcel release form :
Any taxable item which is less than RM 500 under "Butiran 172, Perintah Duti Kastam [Pengecualian]1988 dan Butiran 90, Perintah Cukai Jualan [Pengecualian]2006" is exempted from taxation.".

1. 15%... or effectively 15.5%....
2. Yes, value + shipping at RM500 or more
The less than RM500 rules is under the following :
"Butiran 172, Perintah Duti Kastam [Pengecualian]1988 dan Butiran 90, Perintah Cukai Jualan [Pengecualian]2006" is exempted from taxation."
