Guys, is there a high chance of this getting confiscated or tax by customs? confused.gif

Unless the price+shipping goes way over RM500, unlikely that customs will tax/open to check the contents. Random checks may happen, but again, rare for stuff declared under 500. With shipping, this goes slightly over 500, probably won't trigger anything. For taxes, anything over RM500 is taxable, but kinda depends on your luck. Sometimes, even stuff declared over 500 can pass through.

Still, if you want to be on the safer side, just go with nippon-yasan and request they declare a lower value (not too low, that might cause suspicions). Fingers crossed, Holo will safely arrive at your doorstep.

Awesome, thanks. Im guessing asking them to declare 1-2k yen lower should be fine?
Hopefully everything goes smoothly laugh.gif

New in buying figures online.
Ayam planning to buy from AmiAmi.

Questions:-
1. If value above RM500 after conversion, will kena import tax? If kena, need go physically to custom to pay / collect?
2. Shipping cost roughly (estimate per figure - Alter/GSC kind) / method recommended.
*
1. Not sure about the current SST 2.0 but my experience during GST is anything above RM500 will kena tahan.
That includes if you have 2 parcels below RM500 of value but arrive together at the same time, Kastam will add the total sum of both parcel and if exceeds RM500 you will be taxed. (I kena this before bangwall.gif thx AmiAmi for that doh.gif)

You will either need to physically collect and pay the tax or request Poslaju to do the collection for you with a service fee of RM50 iirc, you will then have to collect and pay at the designated Poslaju office instead of KLIA.

2. Usually SAL Small Air Packet fits most of the figures and can range from 900-2000 Yen from AmiAmi. (usually in the 1400 yen range for me)
Anything bigger would have to be SAL (regular and not to be confused with Small Air Packet) or EMS, I'm not too familiar with the pricing of that since I almost never need to opt for those shipping methods.

Hope this helps, if I am wrong in anyway please correct me.
