Anyone who bought from JannPaul and shipped to Malaysia, do you get charged by Malaysia customs for GST? Just wondering
Not sure about JannPaul. Just to share my experience, I bought a loose diamond from Whiteflash recently and got charged GST for:1. The price of the diamond.
2. The freight value.
3. The insurance value.
In other words, even though shipment and insurance comes free, I still need to pay GST for the premium paid by the seller. Let's say seller paid RM 100 for the freight, then I need to pay RM 6 for GST. Same goes to the insurance value. The premium of the insurance is 10% of the price of the loose diamond. So let's say I paid RM 10000 for the loose diamond, then the insurance premium will be 1% of it, which is RM 100, and I need to pay 6% GST for the RM 100 insurance, which is RM 6.
So:
RM 10000 for diamond.
RM 600 for GST on diamond.
RM 6 for GST on freight.
RM 6 for GST on insurance.
Total Payable is RM 10612.
My item is shipped via FEDEX from USA. So they will pay the GST on my behalf first, and when they deliver, I will need to pay them the EXACT amount in CASH. So do prepare the necessary money first when it is being delivered.
On a side note, if you ask me why I buy from there? Because personally, I feel that I can get a better deal and gain more insights to the diamond I paying for. So far, I don't see any stores in Malaysia that can provide IdealScope & ASET images. I only get the loos diamond, the setting is done by a local jeweler known as Tailored Jewel. They will cast the setting in Hong Kong.
For Jann Paul, it seems they can also provide you those IdealScope & ASET images. They do take in some branded ring setting, as well as their own brand setting. From their YouTube channel, the guy mentioned that their ring setting are also made in Hong Kong. Overall, they are pretty famous.
Anyway, you can try asking your question on their Facebook fan page. Maybe some fellow Malaysians are able to help out.
Good luck!
Update 5 September 2016: Insurance premium of product is actually 1%. Sorry for the miscalculation.
