has anyone here ordered from cd japan before?
i wanted to pre-order a CD and its my first time
i thought of trying International Money Order.... cz i dun hav paypal or credit card
however.... looking at the kastam and stuff.... seems many items kena detain....
i live in jb.. if my item kena detain... what do i do?

All I know that there is a kastam office at Pejabat Pos Besar JB.
So if kena tahan, you can go to collect your items from there.

I intend to buy a jeans around 150 POUND from UK. They will ship with DHL. Can I know what kind of risks I ll be facing? And how much would be the tax etc?

so it means they tax 20%+10% base on your clothing + delivery cost? do they calculate base on the weight /unit?

Anyone has the same exp before?

No risk.
Just pay the duty + taxes.

yes. they calculate based on your total clothes purchase + postage only, not by weight/unit

Note to all, just pay the duty+taxes. No need to try to avoid the law. ><"

Buying stuff from overseas in Malaysia sux. In Australia, goods value below 1k AUD = tax free.

Ask the seller to remove tags and mark it as used, with a low value. You won't get taxed then.

i ordered cd frm japan and also bought some second hand cd frm ebay before.nth happen.don't worry.unless ur cd is bulky

hi all, want some advice here

I just bought 3 vinyl records from Discogs (seller from Netherlands) & now in shipping status.
all item incl postage is under RM150
i do ask the seller to post the records as gift.

i read at the beginning of this thread, music/CD = 30%
wow madness! is it still valid?




last time i bought a soundcard from ebay with the help from a LYN forumer, the item arrived & i have to collect them at the post office in Pending, Kuching. so i met the kastam lady..since it was afternoon & looks like thse ladies in their lazy mood (luckily this kastam lady i'm dealing with is the same race as me...so we chit chat a little) while she instructed me to open the box...but my luck was at my side that time. she said just pretend to open the box to declare content....but actually i never opened it! so i lepas lah (not sure soundcard/computer parts is taxable or not)

Hey guys Ive bought a jeans from europe but the problem is i returned the jeans for another size and now i am being charge another rm 350++ so if i were to pay for the 2nd tax it would cost me close to RM 700

SIGH

Is it because of Malaysian customs or FEDEX NOT doing their job?

I went to customs at Level 3 i think its called EDI but they told me i couldnt claim because i do not have a K2 form, but this form was suppose to be provided to me by FEDEX.

So currently I am hearing two stories, 1 from Customs(which I need a k2 form so wouldnt have to pay tax for the 2nd time) and FEDEX(No matter what item above rm 500 has been imported to malaysia they have to be taxed).

Has anybody faced returned/warrantied item importing in to Malaysia?

Usually claiming back or returning blu-ray disc does not cost that much..

probably, the price tag on your jeans..that cost a fortune..

Nono theres no blu-ray, just a jeans it cost about rm 1.1-1.2k

Ive already paid for the taxes why should i pay for the 2nd time that is my question,

i was wondering has anyone in this forum faced such problems with returning / warrantied goods?

Thank you!

Yes, PC parts are not taxable items,, but if exceeded RM2k u're required to fill in a customs declaration form & pay RM50 only.
