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.

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.

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.

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.

13 kg? Is it the UCS Millennium Falcon?
