I just bought a camera on eBay and it got shipped from Japan. I got a letter from Pos Malaysia to either appoint them as customs agent or I can go to the customs office to collect my camera.

Has anyone had experience like this before? Will my camera be taxed? Any kind of info will be helpful before I go to the customs office tomorrow. I don't want to kena tipu by the customs officer.

Thanks!

Normally don't but not sure coz I never been charged anything. Maybe because:-
1. I only buy used item
2. Less than RM3000 (but heard anything above RM1000 sure kena)

You can try call your place custom that detain your item.
yes, will kena.. last timer is 10% don't know now is 6% or not..

I don't thing RM 1000, my brother say RM 500
last year my borther buy gunpla models and other stuff from japan total price more than RM 500 got tax..

This depend on luck mostly.. If the seller under declare the value usually can go through.. But in TS case got letter from poslaju so already got detain and waiting for the recipient pay for the tax.. Better appoint poslaju to be agent or else you have to go all the way to KLIA poslaju hub to pay the tax over there if I'm not mistaken.. In my case I never got taxed and my luck I bought RC parts from Japan slightly over 1k and not under value declare.. Reason because I think of the small packaging..

Ok thanks all. I'm going to KLIA tomorrow because I can't wait until Monday.

Wish me luck!

Anything more than 500 sure kena. But i think for camera dont have tax

Customs website says camera tariff = nil. However my camera value is above RM1k so I don't know what will apply...

would you mind to give the customs website, i'm going to buy some stuffs from germany.

There are no camera tariff.
However, I'm sure you'll need to pay the GST
