naise!!!

You can't even get the CO2 Laser tube module at a very affordable price. It Very Expensive.
That compressor, its a cooler for the laser tube module and dust blower for the collimator.

Hi guys, my motors are being held up by the custom. I don't think I'll be taxed for it but I guess I'll need to prepare some documentations. Is printing the page where I bought the product sufficient?

Anything under motor will be tax.

Last time my brother kena tax 50% because the stepper motor is under motorbike parts code. Sound similiar. After go there explain and some document, than reduce to 15%.

Who is the shipping Company?? Fedex??

So I should expect about 15% then?
Man, I still need to get extrusion and the electronics - are these taxable?

I use EMS. Does it make a difference?

I got mine through Fedex last two week, no tax.
The supplier from China gave me the HS Code for stepper motor - 8501 10 9990
Checked through http://tariff.customs.gov.my
8501-10 is for motors of an output not exceeding 37.5Watt, no tax actually.
You only need to pay 15% if your motor is more than 1hp (750W), under the HS code of 8501-52-XXXX

Don't think mine is anywhere near 1hp. It's a 17HS8401.

For other stuffs, you need to get the HS code from your suppliers and then check through the http://tariff.customs.gov.my/
Branded courier company like Fedex/DHL/UPS will help you and charge you for custom clearance,
means save your time to go to KLIA to take your stuffs.
EMS is just like the "Poslaju" services from China.
The differences are their services provided.

yea, that's the reason which made me stop at design stage

Just print out the motor specification to show them. You are just unlucky and being checked.

Better prepare $ for tax. Why kena tahan? Parts over RM500?

Next time, parts like wire or motor, try to ask the sender write other name. Maybe can escape if didn't scan.

EMS or DHL etc same thing. Parts from certain country like japan have a high chance kena tax. Don't no why.

No idea. It's just RM200 over. Maybe just unlucky got tahan. I used EMS before to buy puzzles from Japan also didn't kena tahan. Maybe the vendor is from AliExpress?

Everytime I buy something even toys from japan, will kena tahan. And have to go LCCT posoffice. Than I switch to HK to buy. All package smooth till my doorstep.

Follow cha.968 advise how to clear your package. Good luck.

Just curious to ask: How many Malaysians own 3D printers now in Malaysia?

I got My ramp1.4 full kit + tons of other parts without tax. I normally choose Fedex shipping so if kena tax I don't have to go LCCT Tax dept to collect it.

Yes very true. Purchase from HK so many times I don't kena tax. Stuff I bought from denmark, USA sure kena tax even my TOM also kena tax last time but only very cheap less than RM100. Depends what you tell the kastam officer there.

Yes. Fedex will call you and tell you how much to pay. EMS you have to go to pos malaysia at LCCT to declare and pay and collect.

Kastam check more on Normal parcel post than premium postage like fedex.

Folks,

Where can I buy kapton tape locally ?

Just out of curiosity, Isn't it time 3D printing get it's own home in this forum ? ... this entry is getting quite long ....
