I just found out my parcel was detained by KLIA custom. I dont know whether it has been discussed to death in this thread or not, but the conclusion I got after I called them up is:

- if the parcel is declared as TOY, then the likelyhood of being detained and taxed is high. Should put "STATUE".
- Under-declare the price to less than RM500 (include shipping fee). Even if it is sent as GIFT also no use.
- If Custom ask u what is the price and the invoice, and u answer it is a GIFT from friend (Custom gets the same answer all the time, they also fed up), then they ask u to wait there and there will go to their computer to online (ebay, amazon.....) and check the price, and if unlucky they managed to search the same item but priced at higher price, they will tax u based on what they hav found online.
- tax 10% from item and shipping.

I am going there this afternoon, wish me luck, guys!

That's right. 10% tax from item + shipping for TOY. 30% tax from item + shipping for STATUE.

Doesn't matter if the item declared as GIFT.

Also, if u tell the Kastam the amount is already factored in the shipping, they wont give a damn and they will calculate the shipping fee themselves and charge u.

Sideshow is not that strict anymore, they changed the policy, Malaysian issued credit card requires you to fill up a Form.
