So how? Got your stuff already?

Hi guys, i plan to bring back highend laptops, ipad, and highend handphones from australia to resell it at Malaysia.
Did i need to pay for any customs tax if i, myself take it from australia to malaysia without shipping.
But somehow i need to bring at least 10sets one time i come back so that i can earn.
is it possible for me to by pass Malaysia custom?

I'm not sure about that.

If I go to KLIA take the item by own can ma? cos the poslaju service soso long..2 weeks already no clear for me... if The poslaju agent are doing his thing and I suddenly go KLIA to take back my item, is it possible? because the agent use damn so long time for it..i cant wait..

First thing first, did you appoint the pos laju service to clear the kastam for you?
Because the kastam officers will call you first and ask you to collect.
If you can't, then only they will ask for your agreement to appoint pos laju as your agent. Then you have to email / fax to them invoice / receipt to show the value of your items.

Hi, I've browsed through the custom's website but couldn't find the link to check import duties and taxes.
Hope someone could help me with this.

My friend is going to mail me a whole lot of jerseys from London.
He would use a mail service there and mail it to my address in Selangor.
He would mail it using a huge box.
The jerseys are ordered by his friends here in Malaysia for personal use.

My question is, is there any import duties or tax that I need to pay?

This is my 1st time receiving something from oversea, please help me. Thank you.

ok mate, i have a bit experienced coz last time i'am jersey collector,for shirt as we know depends on price normally rm500 and above will be taxed,second is the weight,if your friend using the box with lots of jerseys inside i will say you will be taxed,they dont care if its for personal use or selling,and the third one is depends on luck,one of my friend studying at italy,went back to malaysia and after few weeks his 2 box of jerseys arrived without need to pay single penny on tax

Aww.. too bad.. What is the rate for the tax imposed on the jerseys?
10%/20%/30% on total amount?
Do we need to bring along the receipt?
What if we don't have any receipt?

Regarding your friend there, I think he's 2 box of jersey aren't that heavy each, so maybe that's the reason he didn't have to pay tax.
He's so lucky,

you should call n ask.

I've imported health supplements from US before using vsHub, no tax as yet...

my experience is that they usually do not check the items inside. Usually my friends just declare a non taxable amount and it gets cleared.

Woah, your friend is so brave!

What if we are busted and the custom ask us to unbox? Wouldn't we get into trouble?

Non-taxable amount would be Below RM500 is it?
