I didn't have to pay any tax,

supplements were whey, hydrobuilder, multi-vatamin, BCAA, CLA & L-Carnitine.

is the list of shippers available to public?
for me I didn't have to pay any tax. just delivered directly to me by DHL Global Mail service (not express)

However, on BB package, they stick a "customs declaration" on items lists with the price & quantity.
Maybe the tax depends on total cost?  I know some countries do like that.

Nope the list is not online, otherwise people know they are being monitored.

Relatives and me work for 2 of the big 3 express companies. Customs have long list... even includes those of smugglers (contraband, drugs, wildlife etc...)

Here is an example kena kantoi by customs http://www.theborneopost.com/2012/05/04/rm...alcohol-seized/

Got lucky customs overlook your parcel, if unlucky customs determines the product needs approval from MOH and impound/confiscate the entire shipment.

Check the HS code 210610000 online to verify, Import Tax 15% and Sales Tax 5%

I bought few times from BB.com.....multivitamin, fish oil, creatine, glutamine....so far no problem. The only problem is take longer time to receive, probably 20 to 30 days.

3 weeks, between 15 to 20 days. It's accurate. I've had at least 10 different shipments that arrived within that period. Usually on the 17th day.

wow, totally not aware re these things and i made my first fat burner purchase last night at bb.com. hope it will turn out to be hassle free. my local supplier immediately told me horror stories saying 95% of the time it will not reach the buyer and there will be issues with the government.

Why am i the UNLUCKY one? sad.gif

I bought BEEF AMINOS SUPPLEMENT from iHerbs.com on September 2013 but untill now.... sad.gif

I bought a glove Mid-Year from BB.com also until now tak sampai, worst of all, i order another supplement from BB.com on November 2013 until now still have not arrived... sad.gif

If product kena tahan, will they send letter or call me? Because so far i didnt get any call from whoever regarding my things kena detained or what or is just really MISSING every-time i order?

Can i just go to the Custom in KLIA and ask them do a checkup on my products or must i wait a call from them or letter?

Need help on this guys thx sad.gif
