Just wanna share my thought on this, I recently purchase something of Europe site. Which they send it in Fedex. Declaring full value, 75 Euro = Rm310-+ .
Even is below Rm500 i still got charge tax, and they label it as other instead if the actual product. Here is a pic to how. Oh, BTW. I don't even know how GST is implemented on this user posted image .

I bought the battery for $99 + $29.85 Fedex shipping to Malaysia... RM 478 after conversion, this is what I paid for the goods + shipping.

I e-mailed them to enquire, they replied to me with the attached:

[attachmentid=4448147]

So Cost = $99 x 3.7144 (USD to RM) = 367.73
Insurance at 1% = 3.68

As for Freight, I really have no idea how they calculate. Because from merchant's end it's only $29.85 = RM 110.88
Dunno how they jacked up freight charges from 110 bucks to 421 bucks.

So total cost + freight = RM 793.

6% GST from 793 is RM 47.58... rclxub.gif

I just notice in a statement they actually mark up on the freight to around RM300+, ended up my item cost Rm676 then got GST 6% and custom tax and Rm5 for processing fee.. sad.gif BTW, sorry for the late reply, busy with my work recently.

d shipping cost according seller is FOC. but it seems fedex comes out wit their own minimal freight charges. n d custom tax according to freight charges declared by fedex. its nonsense. i import before this mostly usin usps. never had this type of problem at all.

I believe everyone still get it. Last 2 week i got my item cost 116 USD. They add in another 90+ to make it 500+ thus become taxable. In the end I need to pay for GST which is around RM40.... Have any of you guys have parcel arrive in Malaysia but it says package not due for delivery?
