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!
I ordered a 360 action camera from China. Receive email notice and documents from Fedex. I used the Sirim ePermit also. I submitted forms and payment to SIRIM same day. Got the permit the next day via email. Submitted permit to Fedex and got the item delivered the next day.After submitted all the forms, supporting documents, and payment, you'll received 3 email in total:

Bought a phone from USA last Thursday and paid via ebay. Shipping was super fast through FedEx and arrived as expected but then it got hold-up at KLIA Custom and needing SIRIM permit. After made countless calls to Fedex and Sirim to get the information I needed. The process to release the item was such a difficult process that I need to go to Shah Alam Sirim if I need it fast or wait 48 to 72 hrs if I only submitting via email or fax. BTW, I stayed at Nilai (If you would see the distance and trouble to Shah Alam)
Custom Import Duty Ask for RM100++
Sirim Permit ask for RM150++
If I go all the way by myself... Time + Petrol + Toll + me getting tired..
After thinking all the obstacles up front.. I took the 2nd option.. get my broker agent to handle this.. Paid him RM500 and got the parcel delivered within 2 hrs only. Happy Ending..
The duty/sales tax payment is to Customs department. Fedex charges RM5.00 service fee only. The payment can be paid to Fedex guy upon delivery via cash/cheque. I applied SIRIM ePermit via email, payment of RM100 to SIRIM via ebanking. No trips were made to SIRIM. This method took around 2 days vs your 2 hours but much cheaper as no middle man.Custom Import Duty Ask for RM100++
