stringfellow. Please stop poisoning everyone here. I already bought
3 Bluray discs from amazon.com eventhough my PS3 will only be
happening on the first week of Jan! But if my timing is correct, it
should be right on time for amazon's delivery!

If total declared value of items (minus shipping and handling) is below RM500 then it's ok.

This week, I got 2 packages from Amazon.com. One got stopped while the other one went through. First, I received a letter informing me that my parcel kena detained by customs. In the letter, I was given some choices to either have the parcel delivered to me (with tax) and a few other options. I selected the collection from Post Office. Faxed to them. Got a call the next day from Post Office, informing me I will be taxed 40% of the purchase price.

Then I asked her, what are the guidelines? She said, if you choose normal shipping, you will be taxed if your amount exceeds RM200. BUT if your parcel is by courier service, your limit will be RM500. Now, my DVDs are still at the Post Office, lazy to collect .....

So, thats what I have been told. Not sure how accurate the info she provided. Anyone care to confirm?

Just got a love letter from POS Malaysia. My HD-DVD got stopped by our beloved Customs. Will try to argue my way out as String did by insisting its not a Player but Drive (pc accessories) - but just in case, anyone can let me know roughly how much tax will be imposed if my attempt fail? Thanks.

Good one! Love that movie ......
Will find out if I can get away without being taxed in a couple of hours ...
But clearly, am not a master debater, so ... chances are slim I guess.

ps360, here's what i gotta say, quote Dr. Evil lyrics:
It's a hard knock life for us
It's a hard knock (yea) life for us
Steada treated we get tricked
Steada Free says we get kicked
Its a hard knock life

bro ps360, i think going there yourself and work your way out with our beloved kastam ppl better lah. you open up the package show them the port... dont think so easier for you to do it through phone conversation. or worst, just settle it "under the table"... still cheaper than rm168 the actual tax smile.gif

Guess what? Just came back from the beloved Kastam's office. I got 2 packages.
1 from Amazon and the other my HD-DVD player. Though I may not be a
cunning linguist or a master debater - I got both items Tax Free!!!!
The lady must be in a jolly good mood today. whistling.gif
