Sure kena tax. Kacinggggg...... unless you can kautim the officer. They are also quite smart leh. They go online and check whats the retail price of your set.

Oww, any idea how much? What if listed as gift?

Depends. Some get like 6% some get more. Its very subjective.

The gift trick doesnt work as they good are coming into the country and has to be taxed, regardless its for personal or business / trading purposes.

On general they have a thing for luxurious items. But lately I see anything below RM 1000 ( plus shipping ) can escape. It used to be RM 500. LOL.

Ok tx, if its fixed at 6%,then I think its still acceptable.

So far I was never successful to negotiate tax from the mail, because its all recorded and such. Furthemore you wanna negotiate, you have to go to KLIA and so on. Very mah fan

I have managed to negotiate at the airport when I was trying to smuggle in my helmet. HAAAHAHAHA...... good luck bro.

I havent bought yet and just checking as someone offered me a good deal. So far the little that I imported so far no tax Hahhaha and hence never had the need to go thru the frustration of going all the way to KLIA and then having to negotiate with the immigration folks He2

Thx for the reply tho

It also depends on who is the shipper. Last time (back when the Lego Arkham Asylum was first released), I ordered that and got taxed. But the shipping company paid for the tax, so when they delivered it, I just had to pay the shipper for the tax.

If I remember as of last year they are still using this method to calculate the tax
Value of item + Freight charges* + insurance (1% of the value of the item)

* not the shipping fee you paid, they have table they follow to calculate this, based on where the item came from and how heavy it is, exorbitantly priced. Eg. My order last year the value of the item was RM 152, the shipping was USD 15, but the freight charges were RM 535 in the tax receipt. The total amount taxed was around RM 30.

Seller said shipper will be DHL, so I guess pay tax thru them as I experienced once, still not sure abt buying as the shipment is quite big and heavy, 13kg+ iinm, plus theres the tax issue. Anyway they told me will hold for me a day or so.

Thanks for the explanation bro

13 kg? Is it the UCS Millennium Falcon?

Impulse has a promo on that if that's what you are trying to import

Yes it is, anyway the shipper agreed to absorb shipping so I decided to go ahead, the price on Impulse is good but I got a good deal provided I dont get tax too high . Thanks for the heads up bro

Blame your seller for it.

You need an invoice with shipping charges stated very clearly inside. Otherwise they will ask the courier for the charges which is bloated.

What's the RRP for Volkswagen T1 Camper Van - 10220 ?

No news on any Star Wars UCS coming out this year? Feeling quite bored with all the new offerings...

On the other hand, I already ordered a custom display coffee table for my MF. Can't wait for it to arrive, hopefully it looks exactly as what I wanted (Although the I stole the design from someone on google lol)

Bro...awesome news on the coffee table. Can you share which shop you did it with and how much it costs ?

Thanks alot.

Thanks, had to use a small cheap Ikea table as a temporary display table for almost 1 year

I actually don't know who is making it lol. My wife's friend is doing some renovation for her apartment through her designer, i tumpang to add in the coffee table lol. The designer will instruct the factory to build according to the design.


But the price quoted was nearly RM2k before delivery, which was way cheaper than a con job company called grabit.my which quoted me RM4,400 for the same design lol

Wah.....2K sounds reasonable. Awesome stuff. Now I am itchy to brick my Falcon. Hmmm..... Thanks man. At least got a guideline on the cost. Need to save ( or should we buy MOOOOREEEEE ).

RM499 i think

yup, is 499.90

Saw some review this piece will be RM400+, personal thinking it's a bit overpriced
