I am planning to buy a lot of stuffs from an eBay seller and would like it to be shipped by ocean freight as I assume it would be the cheapest, but it's quite hard for me to get details. Been searching high and low. I'm planning to get it shipped from US, Philadelphia. Anyone can advice me please? Which shipping way would be cheapest. I also heard having a business account with shipping company would give me great discount but I'm not running any business. Also regarding taxes, how much taxes would my vinyl records be and probably a few cd albums too. Please advise! If I have posted on the wrong thread please direct me. Newbie here. Thanks!

shipping by ocean freight anything taxable above RM250(inclusive shipping) will be tax, if you import using company you will need to appoint a shipping agent that will cost you a few hundred ringgit in fee's. If you import for personal use then appointing shipping agent will not be required. But will take months to reach you

Hi everyone I just want to ask, if the status says

24 October 2013 Domestic Dispatch
24 October 2013 Internal Process at (MYKULA) KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA
24 October 2013 Send item to customs
24 October 2013 International Acceptance(MYKULA) KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA

Does it mean it has already pass Malaysia's custom and will be going into our local postal delivery soon? Another tracking site seems to state that it has left the post office but I can't find anything from Pos Malaysia's tracking system  sweat.gif

Also I saw that link that states there's added Kos Tambang Dagangan for courier services, is EMS considered courier?

Thanks  notworthy.gif

Hi, I'm planning to buy a backpack from an online store that ships from the UK.

The total is about rm200, free shipping. They ship via Royal Mail, then passing it to our local postage service.

Is it taxable then? I'm guessing no since it's well under rm 500? But I've never bought stuff from abroad directly myself, hence my concern.

Thanks!!

no tax <RM500

I am planning to buy projection screen. Per the tariff website, there's only sale tax of 10%. Is this the only extra charge? I don't want want to get heart attack for all kinds of extra/hidden charges.

example:
screen = RM900.
shipping fee = RM100.
total price is (900+100) x 1.1 = RM1100

is my calculation correct?
how about duty?
*
yeap.. thats correct.. your sales tax is RM100
bring with you what ever proof of payment..

Hi I bought some Kpop albums from Singapore and they are second hand so there is no receipt. My friend packed them together with gifts for me which are extra Kpop albums she have. She thought send all together will be easier for her so shipping is less. The package is detained at Butterworth Customs, what can I do? Help please sad.gif

It says it's because High Value Goods

you need to declare what is it and put value.. just put a secondhand market value. just go there and tell them you want to get your item, they will show you to the pos office that will prepare a letter (they will charge you for the service) tell them to put the value.. if the customs officer got no issue.. then off you go with the item.. no duty

Declare as in list the items inside? I can do that but the value, I write myself? I still have the link to a few of the Kpop albums I bought which range to about RM10-RM20 each. Can I use it as a proof and base for the rest I bought? Do you know if photocards are taxable? Thank you!

declare.. just list the items you have and put value.. second hand items usually will be considered cheap.. anythng RM500+shipping should be fine..

I'm importing about 15-20 secondhand books from overseas and the cheapest shipping option is DHL. I'm a bit worried about whether it'll get stopped at custom.

I know importing books has no custom/sales tax but do they stop it if it's above RM500 including shipping or do they add the 'kos tambang dagangan' since I'm using courier?

Thanks a lot icon_rolleyes.gif

Government encourage reading, no tax on books, it will go thru without stops.

If i want to order a clutch bag amounting around rm800++ plus shipping what will the tax be like? Any way to avoid tax if theres any? Tq

10%, to under declare will be an offence.. you want to bring proof of payment amount with you just in case they think you under declare and you will get tax base on market
