QUOTE(maskedchan @ Jun 4 2014, 02:12 PM) buy little, bad luck, custom welcome you to visit as well Those days customs use to hassle me even for purchases below RM200-300. Nowadays, up to RM500 still safe. I try to under declare items and send via courier. Mostly works. But you're right, depends on customs mood on that day  |

QUOTE(azerak @ Apr 13 2015, 10:04 PM) My friend a customs officer already confirmed with me that if an item is under RM500, including the shipping charges, it doesnt have GST. Ahh damn, I forgot about the tax including GST now. I still keep everything under $500, or under declare it massively when redirecting. |

QUOTE(azerak @ Apr 14 2015, 01:06 AM) I think they will have a look at the invoice. As long as it is under RM 500 including shipping, you should be OK. True, when I under declare I usually make sure there's no invoices in the box. But for items that look expensive like the massive blu-ray sets, the customs are smart enough to go online and check the prices, so that could be dangerous sometimes. At that point you just have to hope they're having a lazy day so they don't go doing that. |

QUOTE(dirtrun @ Apr 14 2015, 10:51 AM) Seriously, They do it for the custom knives, etc. Go online, check for price, then slap you with a big amount when you come to collect!They hv de time to do tat.. Mighty unlucky - if u ask me for em to target just one pckg.. If l were them, better to go by size of box - bigger box should mean more stuff n more stuff shld mean more exp.. more exp than to exceed 500/- .. more logical tat way unless they really do hv de staf to chek one by one.. Anyway, we shall see.. D |

QUOTE(dirtrun @ Apr 15 2015, 10:35 AM) Still.. So far I've been lucky, over 150 DHL/UPS/FedEx shipments below RM500 have never been pulled by customs. But the ones slightly over that have been tagged and held like clockwork. Some of those have been packaging items, etc and the tax has been pretty hefty. A few times I get knives, etc via standard shipping, takes weeks but those are never held because there's no invoice information. Just the item in the envelope, etc. Bad luck.. l guess .. for them to notice de box/pckg n then check.. U knw.. l kena once, a pckg even below RM500 [ard 400 only] which was held back n asked me to collect at Northern Custom/Postal distribution center - presumably to pay tax - but when l collected, even de customs guy in charge was surprised tat tis particular pckg was asked to be collected there - he said he has no idea why it was held back.. in the end , he released without any payment.. I guess its just de 'inspection' staff which was 'playing de fool' but watever it is - its typical of our 'local boys' - damn unprofessional..  D Guessing they have separate people that hold the items and sometimes they've a bit anal about it. This post has been edited by refnulf: Apr 15 2015, 11:12 AM |

I was only asked to get the KDN cert once but lucky the building was opposite the customs building in Sepang. Took me hours though to get everything processed. This was for a package that was pretty huge with a few blu-rays, packing items, and a few other things. Madness man! |

I remember some friends having a ton of issues with dolby atmos playback after they ripped/encoded their blu-rays. |
