Just got the invoice from the courier about the taxes/duties.
Kena 10% import tax man, in addition to 6% GST! It is classified under 9504.50.000
Any idea how come? GPU should be classified as a computer component, no?

Use http://tariff.customs.gov.my/Search criteria use HS CODE In keyword type 8471 Then scroll until u get the tc code i have given you which will show under video cards and sound cards. Print it out and show to customs, if you cant print it out screenshot and put in paint and print it out. Nil import just 6% GST. I mean same thing lah. I put into tariff.customs.gov.my website, it also says that 9504.50.000 is "-Video game consoles and machines, other than those of subheading 9504.30" This is printed on the customs tax invoice already.

QUOTE(whatidontevenx @ Aug 8 2016, 05:22 PM) bukan 1200 ke? zotac mini inb4 OP getting PNY / EVGA etc I did get an EVGA GTX 1060 SC. The Zotac mini cooling sucks. Lucky for me, Amazon paid all of these taxes on my behalf. Asked UPS to collect from them, and Amazon gave the money to UPS directly and they settle. Still I have the certification from Kastams Diraja Malaysia and the Kastams Invoice, if I can claim back the RM110, would be good, since it is done under my name.
