Yes they will hold a figure, but if they do not allowed the import, they will/suppose to return it back to sender. They will not keep it.

DO note the reasoning can be quite arbitrary, see mood.

As for me, I will just pay the PosLaju fee to have them clear it for me, not worth the trip and hassle down there

Hi Sifutachi,

I have a question, I am planning to purchase this cast-off figure:


this is my first time buying from Amiami. The item will be tagged as "merchandise" by AmiAmi and the price will probably be more than MYR500.

will the item get held by customs? will they check my item? Will I be able to get them back if confiscated?

Usually I just buy from SolarisJapan, can write lower value on the box. (´▽｀)

I don't see much reason to hold a figurine, even if it is as you say, lewd. Unless there's a specific law for that, which I don't know. I can't say if Poslaju can bypass the inspection.. maybe?

this is what confuses me, like how the hell are they able to confiscate the figures? i wonder if there is a specific law regarding that.
i just know they confiscate everything they deem sexual. but how sexy is too sexy? is bunny figures sexual? how about a bikini/swimsuit with
a non-lewd pose?? hmm

bunny is not (source: I bought 3 and never once got confiscated), lewd figurine however have very suggestive pose and often their breast/under are exposed and not covered, this kind will get confiscated

They will not confiscate anything, they will just hold it and return it to sender.

And yes, the standards are arbitrary, see the officer's level of tolerance and/or mood

they did confiscate the lewd figures. happened to few collector here in the past

oh interesting. thanks for your feedback. did those bunny figure purchases taxed by customs? and did the officers open your parcel boxes?
would you say swimsuit/bikini figures with non-lewd pose safe from confiscation? since there is no actual nudity or sexual pose in this case

Their "consfiscate" means they are suppose to resend back to sender.

I had that experience with some more... dangerous banned product... they require a letter of release form relevant authorities or they return to sender.

My figurine purchase was never 'lucky' to dodge custom inspection, so always tax by custom, whether did they open and check I can't be sure but I think most of the time they did and reseal it with new tape
swim wear figure will not be stopped as well, lewd figure is those figure that when u look at it u can tell 100% this is a haram product kind

hi did buy this figure from amiami?? i need to know if your figure is safe. recently bought a figure that shows too much skin so i'm a bit worried.
not about the tax, used to that but the confiscation.

Yes, I did preorder the figure, but it hasn't been released yet. The release date is in July. I will do a follow up once the figure has been released and if the figure managed to get past the customs.

im in dilemma to pre order either the rerelease Duke of York from Mimeyoi or Yoko Bunny Figure from Freeing

both are great but wallet can only afford one since I have other pre orders on the way T.T

I'll take the Duke, but both not my style, they lacking armor/weapons....
