Hi, I am planning to get some cosmetic stuffs into Malaysia from HK. I am doing online sales. I noticed that cosmetic in bulks will be taxed, right?

So, how do I ensure that the stuffs are not detained by the custom? And another thing is how to get license from Ministry of Health or what are the documents needed? Letter or anything?

Thanks!

last week i buy 3 shirts from ebay and it arrive with no problem.
i check the date it was hold at customs, 14 dec.
i receive it on 17 dec.
thanks Sham903n, i appreciate all your advice. thanks a lot.

now i receive my item with no problem.

yes cosmetic will be tax according to type.. ranging from 5%-20% import duty & 10% sales tax, not held by customs? item not more than RM500(item+shipping)
I do not know about the rest of your question.. best to check with the Ministry..

Oh.. so its less than RM500 Then what is a tariff code? Where can I get it?

Guys, I intend to import spark plugs. Did a search @ customs website there's a category "Sparking Plugs" code 8511 with no information on tax and import duty. Does that mean it is not taxable? Cause customs can just put it under another category which is taxable.

Hi all, I wonder if anyone can give me some advices on this. I am going to import some fresh vegetables from Thailand, but I am worried on the custom prohibition which I read from "CUSTOMS(PROHIBITION OF IMPORT) ORDER 1998 SCHEDULE 4 PART I". Can anyone explain to me what that is ? From what I can see, those products are being imported by other companies as well, so I bet those won't be a prohibited item. Does it mean I need to get some kind of license beforehand ?

hmm..its 10% duty and 10% sales tax

Hi guys...
I need some help here... If i'm buying IEM/earphone/headphone from overseas r there any possibilities it will be tax... is it also depends on the price...
n how about if i'm someone from duty free island? is it a different story?

why do you want import spark plugs as there are already many types that you can find in M'sia?

oo nice i've just bumped into this thread post, anyway i think i am going to have some trouble with my shipment from japan, what happen is i pooled together with my friends to buy some figurines from japan as we buy together/bulk can get cheaper price and share shipping, the problem is tehre is around 25 pvc figurines and totalling around rm1,300 which the seller declared in actual and all in one box -.-""

I am afraid i might get taxed, how should i handle this? the item just departed japan today..I am also not sure how much tax to expect....

surface >RM250 above bro, by air its >RM500 above (must include shipping)

ehhh...but just a few months ago when i was at PMK KLIA, i saw a notice sign beside Pos M'sia window counter (ie. at the main reception area and not in Bilik 2) which states any declared item value exceeding RM200 would be taxed but i don't remember seeing anything about differentiation between surface or air-mail....hence, would greatly appreciate if anyone whom has seen the same notice to reaffirm my earlier observation...many thanks...

Just want to share my experience.

I bought 10 pieces of shirts/shorts, and was held by customs.

Went to the POS today beside LCCT, I show my invoice which is only $57 (actual around $120).
Then, i pay nothing.

The officer also said RM150++ only? "Kamu tak bernasib baik.."

DULAN

Waste 2 hours of my time in total + RM30 petrol fees.




But luckily i did my research here in Lowyat...at least i didnt end up paying $49.50 for POSlaju to be my agent.

I always employ pos laju as my agent to get me back my stuff from the kastam. It costs RM31.50 in total each time.
I rather spend the money to pos laju rather than going there wasting time queuing up.

Anyone knows the tariff code for Vitamin C pls
