Hi Sifutachi,

I have a question, I am planning to purchase this cast-off figure:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


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 just bought from Amiami last month, the figure and shipping was about 2K+. For customs, items above RM500 usually get flagged for import duties so expect that to happen and standby your invoice, you can appoint Poslaju to clear the process for you (they take at least RM50-100 cut) or you can just head to Pos Malaysia KLIA yourself, which is surprisingly empty nowadays (I was literally the only person there) compared to few years ago where it's packed with people.

You might also be requested to open your package and present the contents to the officers, which in my case hilarity ensues. "RM2000 untuk bende ni untuk ape?" which sounds insulting but the custom officers were genuinely friendly and curious on what would posses me to buy a 2K anime toy lol.

For toys, it's about 10% of your total purchase price. Some friends said I was stupid to not just forge the invoice with photoshop but in my opinion I'd rather not go to jail over a stupid anime toy. sweat.gif

Thank you very much!! Learnt a lot from this!

Do you think the officer will hold my item if I were to open it in front of them? I think, if according to Malaysian standards, it is quite lewd.

Another question,
How do I appoint Pos laju? If I appoint pos laju, do I only need to pay the fee? Or Pos laju fee + tax? And do Pos laju needs to open the item in front of them too?

And how do you forge an invoice? Didn't Amiami already put the invoice outside 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?

Poslaju will almost certainly contact you about a day or two once the package has been on hold, from there you can simply appoint them to do it. You might get an SMS too, simply follow the instructions of the SMS. I got both a SMS and call, but I decided I'd rather go to KLIA myself for the adventure.

You need to print out your payment details for the figure. I used PayPal so I simply printed that and the screenshot of my Amiami payment on their site, or just have it on your phone and show it to them.
