I only had one that came in over RM500 before, around RM 511 declared value, SAL and luckily it passed.

Which shop did you buy from btw?

Tough luck when it comes to amiami, they'll never under-declare anything. How much is the value btw? I've had stuff valued around 600 evade customs. Really depends on luck I guess. And also how generous amiami is with the packaging. The bigger the box, the more likely it'll get inspected? 

Poslaju? If yes, what's the tracker at pos.com.my says?

If by tomorrow the status didn't change, just go to kastam there to collect. The notice can arrive weeks later lol

*edit: call pos malaysia today first

my advice chill until custom update ur parcel, even if u call them they wont speed up the whole process, after they update it u can choose either to collect it urself or let poslaju handle it (they incur additional charges to handle it for u)

different states experience may vary..mine the pos laju call me to ask whether I want to authorize them to settle the import tax, the status online simply shows that my package is detained by customs without anything else..after I authorize poslaju to clear the tax for me then the status will start updating again

yes, poslaju will ask you for the invoice.

should be 6% (not sure) plus other charges and yes, poslaju will give you the breakdown invoice (whole stack of documents for you to sign off upon collection).

What is the POS Malaysia email to write use since I have the same situation?

Anyone going to AnimeJapan this coming march? I'll be there on Saturday.

They have alot of such stage event, but I dont speak japanese so can look look only cannot interact in the Q&A session

Guys, need some advice. My figures got detained in kastam and  I’m not so versed in dealing with them. My mistakes tho, last time i ordered something from mandarake was about 7 years ago. I thought the less than 500 rules still applies. So when i ordered some figures (5 box) with a grand total of about rm480 i thought everything would be just fine, so i proceed with the order and pay thru paypal. (Total with all the charges/exchange rate from paypal and cc was rm495)
So yesterday, when I received a msg from custom saying my stuff being detained. I just print out the paypal receipt and mandarake order and show it to them. But they dont accept the  payment that i made thru paypal, and insisted on using their own current exchange rate which would result in grand total of rm502 and taxable. Then, i just agree la, and prepare to pay the tax of 10% which was 50+. But then the officer says my package have more than 2 items and need to declare by agent. This is a new thing for me, the agent is already standby there and explain to me the procedure. First i had to submit clarification form at MySafe (http://mysafe.kpdnhep.gov.my) and wait for them to clarify which takes about a week. Then, if clarification success, i need to forward him the copy for him to process and etc. The total charges would be 150+. Is this the correct procedure currently? Just wanted to have second opinion or something. I feel so stupid 😢

According to my friend who is a kastam officer in KL, you can do the procedure for mysafe by yourselves, but it will take quite a while. Anyway this mysafe thingie on imported parcel is a pilot test program, at least until June this year. Though do take note the rules could be different on East Malaysia, since kastam there have more autonomy than West Malaysia

If declared value over 500, or they suspect underdeclare, or sender is on their watchlist, they will detain first. Then upon inspection if it's deemed under mysafe rules, they will ask for cert, on top of the sst

Oh, Air Small Packet is resuming eh
I planned on holding off from buying from Japan for the rest of the year.
