20% + 10% is slightly higher than 30%. Imagine you take 30% from RM1,000.00 is RM300.00. But 20% + 10% is 1st you add 20% to your RM1,000.00 which totalled up to RM1,200.00 then and then only you add the other 10% which is RM120.00. So your taxable total is RM320.00

Unfortunately the issue here is that all Sideshow statues are made from Polystone and not porcelain as described in Sideshow web;

"Polystone is a compound made up largely of polyurethane resin mixed with powdered stone additives that give it added weight and the porcelain or "stone-like" feel that resulted in the materials name itself. Polystone is durable and highly effective at maintaining a sharp paint finish. Unlike porcelain which is fired in an oven, Polystone is a cold-cast material in which no heat is used in the manufacturing process, resulting in much greater variations of paint finish".

Bro I understand what you mean. I myself plan to do some casting work in the future for my custom works so have been learning abit on this topic. But the prob is I dont think our boleh land customs will be bothered whether it is polystone or porcelien.

Some of my previous sideshow purchases which was below RM500 was still tax by them simply because Kastams has their own shiping calculation where instead of RM70 shipping I'm paying they calculate as RM 380 and they refuse to listen even with documented evidence.

Sucks that kastam kills the joy of every parcel/shipment, its luck. Sometimes kena some not.

Singapore also has kastam issues I hear... anything near S$400 is at risk but of cos only 7%

Waw!!! 3k? Seriously? Makes me wanna sell mine...kidding, it's a keeper. I know the price been going up and up, but I didn't expect it to reach 3k. I bet the shipping itself cost somewhere in US 100-120, right? It's a very big box.
Waw.....that's like the price of my Hulk PF when I got him years ago, and it will possibly be the last 3k that I will pay for a statue. Real killer.
