GST only. And You can even get your forwarder to re-declare for lower GST charges.
I know, coz I've redeclared my Microsoft Surface Book from USD2699 to USD1699. GST charges are only on the USD1699 declared cost. I've shipped my Surface Book from Microsoft online store to forwarder address in Portland and re-ship it back to Malaysia. |

QUOTE(genzi0401 @ Dec 7 2015, 08:55 PM) wow.. compare to mine, yours one is really the real high price item. Forwarder does what I asked them. Perhaps it depends on your forwarder whether they wanna do that or not. The downside of under-declaring is that, if the package is lost in shipping, you can only claim the cost you've declared.but is that true if the forwarder would willing to help, to reduce the declared value? oh, how about the SIRIM issue?  No SIRIM meddling either, this is not a smartphone or tablet. This is a computer. As a disclaimer, my forwarder uses DHL. I hold no responsibility if you face difficulties using other courier services. I hate UPS with every fibre of my being, and FedEx have gone less helpful in processing my shipments in as of late. DHL has been rock solid since the day I first used them shipping items from Amazon. |

QUOTE(genzi0401 @ Dec 7 2015, 09:17 PM) No worries bro, I just need reference on my in-coming item from USA. I am very clear that different forwarder has different way of dealing on the shipment. 6% GST only, yup.So ultimately, the charge when it reaches Malaysia would be merely 6% of GST on top of the total cost of my item, right? How about can you PM me the forwarder that you've been using all this while? Thanks so much bro. I cannot reveal my forwarding agent, sorry. Hence my disclaimer previously applies. |
