China seller? You really want?

Not likely confiscated, maybe will kena detained and kena bayar tax or whatsoever.

Bayar tax is a pain. The process I mean. Here's what i went thru yesterday.

1) Surrender driving license at guard pondok for entry tag.
2) Go to Counter 1, tell them pos laju reference. Wait.
3) Told to go to counter 2 to pick up item. Surrenders entry tag to counter 2 lady. Waits for item to be dug out.
4) Told to go to counter 3 with item for inspection. Opens outer packaging box. Convinces pak cik that mio honda is not a toy, but a doll (hence should be 0% tax - the reason why I drove up in the first place instead of waitig for pos laju) and that she isn't nekkid. Her clothes are included. Need to tell pak cik value of item based on delivery slip.
5) Gets some forms back and told to go to counter 1 again to complete paperwork. Wait.
6) Get some borang back (K1 i think) that indicates amount payable (0% duty but 6% GST). Told to go back to counter 3 to get it stamped or something.
7) Waits for counter 3 pak cik to do something, item still sitting on counter 3 desk
8) Go and queue in counter 4 to make payment and sign off documents. Eh wtf got ~RM14 documentation fee ?
9) Finally, rescues forlorn mio honda from counter 3.
10) Go back to counter 2 for some final paperwork and to get back entry tag.

There were like 5 guys ahead of me and the process took 1 hour 30 minutes

Paid 137.xx for GST in the end.

If the condition is new why the seller has out-of-box photos of the figure in the description below?

2 possibilities
> It is not MISB, it is MIB.
> The seller shows you an out-of-box picture of a genuine figure but sends you a bootleg version.

3 red flags that raises suspicion
> seller is from china
> The issue (out of box pictures) i mentioned above
> A start-from-one-dollar bidding usually happens to bootlegs because they have almost no value, you almost never see such deals on eBay for genuine figures.

On the kastam question, that one can pass kastam, no problem. As long total value is under RM500 including shipping costs.

So troublesome one? In Penang/Butterworth it is easy - you go on Saturdays where they work only half day (morning only), and you purposely go there late - within 11-11.30am. They want close doors and go home ady so they speed up the tax-paying process for you and didnt even bother to check the contents in detail. LOL

Tried this tactic i did. Puasa month. I went in at 4.15PM. Didn't work.

Thanks all for the reply.

I'm still thinking about it actually. I'm also worried. Haha. But Ive bought few figurines from China. All different sellers. Some were great. And some the item never arrive. But still got my money back tho. With the help of paypal.

Oh man. Not cool man if kena tax. Any idea how do they decide if the items is to be detained or not?
Thanks for the reply.

Oh gosh. Thanks for the info man. 1 and half hour is looong.

Hmm. I notice a lot of sellers use the same pics. Most likely they take all the pics from the same source. So yea. I'm also worried its a bootleg version. I'll still browse through tho. Till i find one that i'm confident with. Heh. Thanks for the info btw.

Oh man, if all seller use same pictures that is an even bigger alarm. I'd advise not to bid.

RM137 GST?! Mio Honda costs that much meh?

I think he was referring to a Doll import, a doll, not scale PVC

Hmm. Man, i really wanted to get it. But yea. I guess u guys are right. Since theres soo many red flags. I guess i'll pass on this. Heh.
Thanks all for the reply.

boxless, not new,is it worth rm 100?

Already failed my quality inspection test
> The hair is horrible, pure horrible sculpting, lacking refinement in details, with flat paint job and blunted ends.

Made me see the imperfections.

Before I pre-order anything must pass through Sifu.
