LOL, should've reminded you to check with them if the email given is correct or not. You should check if you receive 3 emails before going back

Yeah, you can apply thru email. But they respond to an email pretty slow. If you go there, they'll do it instantly. So, unless if you're staying far, just go there

Hi it's my first time applying for SIRIM after my Nvidia Shield Tablet was held by customs. I applied through email due to the fact that I live far away from KL... So I followed all the instructions and applied yesterday, today I received a email from SIRIM stating that my application was "Acknowledged by Customs", I sent this to my carrier but they told me to that this is only a confirmation and not the actual approval. Sorry for the long story but my point is: Am I on the right track ? and how long does it usually take for me to receive the actual permit ?

Thanks notworthy.gif notworthy.gif

Seems like we're in a similar boat. Just got my Nabu Watch stuck at customs. As the recent posts imply, the process is now done either via walk-in or email, there doesn't seem to be any forms to download at website so you may or may not have to re-fill forms at their HQ lol

Hopefully FedEx gets back to me regarding my airway bill, invoice and custom one form tomorrow.

Come to think of it, custom issues like these aren't handled by the seller right? cry.gif

No need to visit their office because they now accept application via email.

Or

If your agent from POS Malaysia, please attach scan copy the particular of item detained by customs and please clarify information such as below:

FYI application will be accepted with 2 option either:

Hey, I wanted apply via online. Due to some several problems:
1. I have to work on the weekday and on an office hour which is similar to SIRIM Bhd.
2. My courier (FedEx) gave me a time limit for 5 days from now.

What/how should I do to apply my special approval (private) permit?

Hi i received a pdf after submitting all the documents and payment stating-

Others : Product shall be submitted for evaluation with importation/declaration document endorsed by KDRM/Pos Malaysia within 14 (fourteen) working days from the date of importation/declaration document or Special Approval application date which is on 03-Aug-2016

Does that mean I need to wait for 14 days to get my permit?
Mine is a personal item - wireless headphones.

Just want to share that the guide by @PeacefulDiscord is still valid as of December 2016. Really came in handy when dealt with Customs+SIRIM for the first time recently.

Also came across this guide on how to apply e-permit from SIRIM online when doing some research. Thought you guys might want to give this method a try.

I've tested the methods today, and it works!
After submitted all the forms, supporting documents, and payment, you'll received 3 email in total:

1. e-ComM Application Notification: e.g. "Your quotation for application DRAFT/XX/99/9999/X is ready. Please kindly acknowledge the quotation."

2. The 2nd e-ComM Application Notification: e.g. "Your application File No. DRAFT/XX/99/9999/X is change to SQASI/XX/99/9999/X and accepted by SIRIM.
Kindly submit your sample to SIRIM." [NOTE: At this point, you DON'T need to do anything, just WAIT for the 3rd email.]

3. Acknowledged by Customs: e.g. "Kindly refer attachment and forward your import permit to forwarder agent for clearance purposed." [NOTE: This email contained a document (Certificate of Approval), you need to send it to your forwarded agent (in my case is Fedex). Then the agent will proceed with pre-clearance, which SIRIM will do the product assessment.]

4. Within 2 days, Fedex sent me an SMS inform me about the duty/tax amount. I made a called to them, being told that my parcel will be sent by Gdex, and I just need to pay the duty/tax when the item arrive.

So, that's my whole journey on Import Permit application. While a agent quoted me RM200++ for this, I handled it by myself with just RM106.00, and everything are done within 2-3 days. Give it a try!

SIRIM permits are mainly for equipment that has a radio inside it. Things like bluetooth, GSM radio, wireless radio, etc.

If your desktop doesn't have those, then no, you won't need a permit from SIRIM. Just import them normally.

SIFU i need your help.

I ordered a fitbit wristband from USA AMAZON. Its a smartwatch that tracks sleep and exercise data ... it was my mothers day present but DHL say they need SIRIM permit approval

Do the forms work with in JB too ?

QUOTE(PeacefulDiscord @ Dec 21 2012, 10:37 AM)
Hello,

I just ordered a Nexus 4 from the US and now FedEx is telling me I need this SIRIM approval thing. I have always imported gadgets from US before (ordered Nexus 7 using DHL and no need to get approval) and wanted to know how to apply for this SIRIM permit? Also, will there be some kind of tax I need to pay, or will the permit cost a certain amount?

Any help would be appreciated


EDIT: This is the procedure to apply for the permit

Just wanted to update everyone who might be interested, I went and applied for SIRIM special approval and the process was dead simple and cheap. The process went like this:

1) Downloaded, printed and filled form for E-Permit application and Special approval (see attachment) Thanks to user bv2427 for the documents biggrin.gif
1a) If you don't know the Tariff code for your product, just search over here.
2) Print specification for hand phone being imported, in my case it was the Nexus 4 technical specs (use the Nexus 4 page on Google to print out the technical specs for the phone)
3) Get a copy of your IC or Passport
4) Print shipment and customs invoice (Ask your courier for the shipping invoice or pro-forma invoice)
5) Go to SIRIM HQ, Block 25
6) Hand all the documents in and pay the RM100 for the approval
7) You should receive the permit in about 3-5 hours
8) Send it to your courier and wait for them to process it and release your package from customs

Honestly, was worth more to learn the procedure to do this than pay RM300 to FedEx broker to do it for me. I saved RM200 by doing it myself which honestly didn't require much hassle at all. The SIRIM people are not helpful on the phone but if you go there in person, quite helpful and pleasant to deal with.

My advice is to always go in person and do it rather than call/email. Always easier. Just remember to have all the documents prepared to make it less hassle and time consuming.

Thanks everyone for the advice and hope this helps other people out!

For the tariff code, your fitbit will fall under the 8517.69 code.

You will need to email SIRIM with the forms provided in this thread along with the relevant technical specs found on the fitbit website for your particular model. You will then need to pay the fees and they will issue you a certificate within a day or two. SIRIM is a federal body so doesn't matter if you are in JB. The procedure is still the same.

Hi, I have just received the Special Approval required for my laptop purchased from Singapore.
However, SIRIM said that I need to send the item to them for testing within 14 days of the approval date.
1) What happens if I dont send it to SIRIM for testing? Fine? Imprisonment? Item get confiscated?
2) How long does it take for the testing to be completed? Any estimated time until I get my laptop?
Thanks!
