No problem with clearance- the whole process really a bit annoying/slow having to go through so many steps ... but charges not too bad.
First to enter cargo village need to swap IC/Passport for wristband + pass, in completely different building. Then need to visit MASKargo office to get documentation done and pay charges (THC/Telegram Charge) which is RM30 total. After can proceed to collect the goods, then go to another office to pay FCZ charge (RM5) and another office to file some document EDI? Not sure what its for .. costs RM22.45 After that can proceed to custom office, bike was in the car so they sent me across the road for inspection - officer asked me to start unpack etc. once he saw was used tell me to go back. Duty/tax was 0% - on paperwork was also stated that goods are used, for personal use.
So overall OK - total cost for clearance RM57.45 , if used DHL/TNT instead they do the clearance etc. for you but the price will be at least RM300+ or more for shipping.
Just took me long as never visited KLIA Cargo zone before - no idea where to go inside and not many signs! At least went at night time (reach around 10PM) so not busy at all - no queues!
Hmm...Thanks for the detail write up
So if it is a new bike, tax will be imposed? I thought road bike, tax is exempted??

How did UK side packed before ship out? If it is like new bike packaging, it should be fine.
But this issue can be fix, just need to send to bike shop for rectification
Initially just the area I'm staying to get used to cycling again (Damansara Perdana) then will take some of the recommendations from this thread ... Damansara Perdana to Klang, or try some other routes
