Not taxable, but you might have more trouble getting it SIRIM approved later. Preferably if someone can carry it in for you instead.

I've order some Handphone casing from korea, and my goods is hold by custom now. May i know how much taxes i need to pay ? My supplier stated it cost $75 for 250 plastic casing.. Please advice

All I can say is you just have to go there and try to bring the invoice or any hardcopies mentioning the sale. Just be prepared by bringing around 15% of the cost and shipping of the item for tax. Just in case

Thinking of getting some Blu Ray DVD from Amazon, so i call custom for infor, according to her...got 10% sales tax(not so clear about this), she advise me to call MOHA.gov.my to find out more if ur importing movie.

Lots of trouble neh....

Kena SIRIM and tax. Tax if it's above RM500

is it necessary to get SIRIM?
how if the person who send me declare it as a gift?

Any sorts of electronics, gift or not.

Yes that's true. Gift well fall under Special Approval.

Any idea the tax applicable for purchasing a leather bag from uk? taxable and rate?

10 Nov 2010 5:40:44 AM PUSAT MEL BANDAR BARU BANGI Receive from Domestic Location
10 Nov 2010 9:16:18 AM PUTRAJAYA SERAHAN Attempted Delivery

meh mine didn't say going through custom at all. THought all must go through there first?

Bought a hair straightener by the way using royal airsure(that's considered electrical items right?). First time online shopping. Lucky didn't kena tahan then after reading all the horror stories.

Gonna wait infront of house. XP if they say failed attempted delivery then sure the postman too lazy to even try =____=

Once you got the package check if got Customs chop there. Most item they inspect a bit (read the invoice?) then they stamp it then Pos will send you the package..

dun have invoice. The sender declared it as clothes. No malaysian custom cap anywhere =D.
So good ah, received yesterday at KLIA today arrive already

Hey when the item is tax or require sirim,where should I headed to for claiming my stuff and paying the goods??

Is it confirmed that laptop that will be bought from US will not have tax when delivered here in Malaysia?

I really want something in Amazon but I hesitate that it will incur some kind of taxes when delivered here.

Could anyone confirm?

dear all,

i have bought a beauty device from China 1mth ago and opt for air shipping through an agent, after waiting for 1mth, the agent tell me that the item is being confiscated by the custom.now offer a refund of half of the money that i have paid for it.

what i am concern is, the item i bought is less than RM100, but not available in Malaysia, i asked her to get bak the item from custom coz i thought the reason why they withhold the item is for taxing purposes, but the agent told me that we wont be able to get bak the item already without telling me the reason, she say the custom can take whatever they want without reason, i feel something wrong is here.

kindly advice me what can i do to proceed.

thank you

Post the details here especially the specification or else hard to comment. Too general.
