simple question here...

i was about buy some stuff from US, using express main international, my question is does this shipping method directly ship to my door? meaning i no need rush anywhere to get my thing....

buy some stuff from ebay... using express main international

Sorry for the late reply, I think right now Kastam doesn't care if it is written as gift or not, as long as the taxable item cost and the shipping fees is not more than RM500 (sometimes over RM510~ a bit i think Kastam doesn't mind ) the item will be released and delivered to your home. The amount to tax is based on what is written on the delivery form. If the form just states gift but no value, I think can lepas Kastam .

The problem why they write the cost is that some seller is afraid that people will scam them by saying the item is not delivered. Therefore they need insurance. In regards to insurance claim, they will be entertained as long as the cost is written on the delivery form, but some postal delivery has limits on their insurance claim (usually USD100 I think).

Yes the all delivery should be directly to your door but if got taxable item, it will be held at the LCCT Pos building there. But usually the express main international usually need somebody to sign to get the item. If not they will leave you with a notice to get the item from them. Usually Poslaju division will handle the items.


Just for everybody's information, I think most items will be taxed at 10% + 5% (service tax?) of the cost + shipping value. So if you think the item is more than RM500, just get ready to pay around 15% of that amount. Pos Malaysia will only accept cash or check only. (I sudah kena want to pay by credit card but no such service. Have to walk to the LCCT terminal ATM machine to get my money.. )

ok thanks for help out...
wat u mean that highlighted sentence? means if i not at home, poslaju will leave a notice then i collect at post office?

Yes. Because from my experience, express mail anywhere in the world will need to be signed so that the postal service in other country can confirm that the item has been delivered. The equivalent service in Malaysia is Poslaju, Japan is EMS (Express Mail Service) I think. Hope others can correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm trying to import powder for powder coating, is powder probihited item? Damn, now I'm worry as I just pay the seller..
