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?

RM182.

RM1100 is the cost (USD 260 @ 4.05). They take 10% for the Import Tax, and a further 6% for the GST.

It should be under 8471.80.200

Dont use dutycalculator.com , it is unreliable.

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.

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.
