Thanks. How much would be tax? Would value over that be automatically tax or depends on luck?

Likely depends on luck, I have a RM1.2k ish worth of items just arrived. No tax 😉

But another package below RM 500 one seems no movement at the moment 😅 at the kastam.

yes depends on luck.
going through "scam" local couriers like DHL, TnT, USPS, UPS...etc...will get yourself taxed....

I bought tablets before...that cost > $500, and did not get taxed...

so depends on luck.

The tax is based of the item type.



you can try this as a reference...not sure if it's the latest.

find you item, and check if you get 5% and 10%.

I remember it was 5% of the differences, or minimum (whichever more), and 10% additional after if applicable.

If I got 42.02 Bag, that applies 10%...and if they wanna tahan the bag , you produce the receipt purchase+shipping to be total = $550, you pay $50x10% = $5 on top of that. But they have some min...like..$5.
Not really exactly sure.

If you go through stupid courier from the above, they will CHARGE additional services and delivery unknown charges that will bulked to $25-50.

Someone have same problems with me.

Mine stuck since 2 July.

this is kinda off topic.

If i want to buy an item from USA, but the vendor only accepts PayPal and ships to the address listed on PayPal. So my Paypal account is bounded as Malaysian, cannot put the address of the buyandship's warehouse in USA. Is there any work-around for this kind of situation?

All couriers to Sabah & Sarawak very slow nowadays
Last time I send an item to KK with J&T, took 7 days for the item to be delivered
Another item sent using Poslaju to Kuching, now past 5 days, still no tracking update

Taobao free service handling Tuesday has come, when using app how do I select local currency charging? Instead of their conversion?

Have you bought yours? Looking for folding bike also.. price around 2k.
Hard to find local seller nowadays, all oos. Can anyone answer this?

Dex-i tracking status no update for 4 days. Is that normal?🤔

My item already clear customs this morning but abx didn't pickup.

Why ler so slow abx

I just bought something worth 2k+ on taobao, shipping by sea.I've been told that parcels from taobao rarely kena import tax. Anyone have experience ?

Does this actually work? I claimed the coupon but it's still charging me 3% on the payment page.

Use the app, I managed to do one purchase after I posted.

Alright it worked. But it's only 1 time usage and the t&cs are horrible. I had to make multiple orders as I needed to ship to different places but now that's out of the window.

is there an up to date guide on how to purchase? i can navigate the site with translate but it doesnt work when it comes to shipping details. alternatively, whats the cheapest agent? buymall will only declare shipping cost when the item arrives to warehouse, i dont like it

Anyone know if the item is more than >80 cm what is the charge? I have been told one of my order has been transferred to oversized item warehouse.
What about my other items, wont it be shipped together then?

Has anyone bought an electric appliance from Taobao before and what's forwarder did you use?

Anyone knows any other forwarder that doesn't charge by volumetric (if more) for air shipping?

Only one I know so far is https://elogisticscn.com/index.php?route=in...&warehouse_id=1

also, are forwarders cheaper than taobao? (when not shipping sensitive items)

Anyone purchase from weidian before? Use which fowarder? Is it possible to consolidate my weidian purchases with my taobao warehouse shipping?

how's your experience with https://elogisticscn.com/? my item mostly is light but since seller pack them in box, i will need to pay extra.
