Hi guys, did any of you face problems when importing dji phantom drones into Malaysia?
Currently I'm facing issue on my drone ordered via DJI website, the DHL person told me my drone is being withheld by custom as they need AP permit before releasing the drone. Do I really need a permit? I know we have to register with DCA, but importing drone requires AP permit especially for dji phantom 3? |

QUOTE(uraki @ Jan 10 2016, 03:43 PM) Interesting case, I thought since DJI website allow shipping to Malaysia, supposedly won't have these issues. found out the permit that DHL meant is the SIRIM permit , just applied for it (its around 37.10rm), hopefully it is approve soon then I can get the drone.May I know how may drones are you ordering from DJI?  I'm just ordering one P3P , not even inspire which is far bigger, so should be ok. |

QUOTE(Victor3010 @ Jan 13 2016, 12:23 AM) Thinking of getting the dji phantom advanced 3... Buy it direct from dji or local distributor? sorry for late reply. got my drone 2 days ago , haven't fly yet as need source for tabletIf buy from DJI directly, DJI will cover the DHL transportation and GST/VAT fees (it is stated in the website), on your side you need to pay for SIRIM permit at rm37.10 (around 1-2 days approval depends on branch). SIRIM will send the approval via email to you, and you forward it to DHL. Then DHL will settle the rest and you can wait for your drone. Best if you wait DJI website discount/promo , I think now got promotion on standard, advance and 4k model (not pro version) . If you got a student email account , you get additional 10% discount. I got mine with free bag and another battery(after minus off the 10% discount). you also need to monitor the currency exchange  , dont buy when USD is alot higher, else you will pay more.This post has been edited by khtan2000: Jan 16 2016, 01:58 PM |

QUOTE(quineMc @ Jan 17 2016, 04:37 PM) How you got the free bag?my school email edu.my is invalid.haiz the free bag is during xmas promotion till 31 dec 2015, the current ongoing promo is just the discount on the phantom.If the edu.my is invalid , perhaps you contact DJI online support ? just show them your uni everything should be ok i guess. I'm using USM without any edu on it but seems they recognize it so it works for me directly. |

QUOTE(kayFX @ Jan 22 2016, 01:50 AM) during my purchase last year i only have to pay for GST.. i ship using UPS and GST only calculated when arrive for custom inspection.. maybe the SIRIM permit newly implemented this year perhaps? do imported current owner have to apply for it? this time i only need to pay SIRIM , dont need to pay anything else like GST/tax. I think might be due to the import code then custom require permit. Depends on where you purchase and shipping company. |
