It really depends on how the figure is stored
If it was stored in a really warm warehouse or room the risk is higher. If it was properly stored in cool and dry places, it's not that much of a concern.

Damn.. i have quite a bunch of those.. cause i dont open most of my figures..

Didn't use their service long time already but I think last time they also didn't provide free shipping when I order from them. It was like 8 years ago already.   

Might be still at japan and not yet board to flight
or
malaysia side haven't update their system (maybe the parcel arrived here but they still not yet register the tracking number to malaysia tracking system)
Sometimes you will see the tracking in Malaysia suddenly updated that the item was arrived few days before they update the latest status of parcel.
I guess this is quite common for rSAL zzz

then do u hv the surat permit?

Yea man, 10% tax. Time to reduce my order from amiami d

Ho sei liao, my Alter Kanan figure kena tahan by kastam  Gonna collect from them tomorrow.

Can someone share their experience in kastam? Will they ask to open the parcel? I afraid they may consider this a lewd figure.

i have good experience with fedex though, i import dolls from japan and fedex is the cheapest of all compare to ems/dhl/etc, even with fedex priority
but i guess it depends on the size though, maybe figures/smaller box not so worth it, i bought dolls are long big one

my latest purchase is just recently, i bought dd sherly norme with 10% discount!

real price is 78000yen + 6000yen service & postage, i ask to declare lower to 30000yen which i think is around rm1100? they provide a receipt which state all the calculation/price properly, though thrs a weird extra freight payment around rm325 which add up to a total of around rm1450

i ended up paying rm150 for tax which im ok with, its about 10% which is almost correct

Yes, they will collect the tax upfront, whether they pay or not I dont know, but I have never faced any further tax issue with them, its good when you want to know what is the max/exact cost you're going to get hit without any surprises/

I have never had problem with customs for FedEx/DHL.

I bought it from Nippon Yasan.

So I received the figure today and kastam did indeed open my parcel for inspection. The figure box is wrapped with bubble wrap, so they opened a small hole to see the content. Thankfully they opened the parcel from the bottom, so they only saw the back of the figure. Not sure what will happen if they saw the front 

Btw is it just me or kastam has been really strict these days? Within this month, I have two parcels opened for inspection.

I have the dark hair version and it's still unopened for one year
