Recently purchased a phone casing from the US and using FedEx Courier services. The product cost roughly Rm 350 and I was surprised that when it reaches Malaysia Kastam, it has been then further taxes together with duty fees in the amount of RM 240.

So, i am here to ask is there any possible ways for me to get back the money through rebate? How about i declare it as personal use and then got the rebate from the LHDN later on?

Any opinions and suggestions are welcome and appreciated. Thank you.

Yea, It is actually an Element Case Solace for iPhone 6

Total including shipping is RM 390 to be exact.

FedEx provided this statement

FedEx: AWB#********** has been cleared with duty and tax RM235.68 + RM5.00 (FCZ CHARGES) = RM 240.68. For assistance on delivery and shipment movement status, kindly contact our customer service center at 1-800-88-6363. Thank you for shipping with FedEx.

Gonna do that tomorrow. Hopefully everything can be fine soon.

After checked with the Malaysia tax and duty fees, my product the most will only kena 10% sales tax which is RM 39.00. Clearly there was an error made by FedEx or Kastam

I see. May I know how you deduced that highest tax rate are about 30%? hmm...

This website stated that Malaysia only imply 10% service tax.

While, in the kastam's website. Under the 420239900 of Old HLS (you can put the number into the search bar at the right to search) It also stated only got 10% sale tax.
