USD 90 = less than RM300.
Just show them the invoice. They cant tax you.

alright cool. to bad today is public holiday, need to go on lunch time tomorrow...

and 1 more thing is item more than rm300 or rm500 will kene tax? in my case im gonna bring in more earphone on next batch might be around rm480 incuding shipping.

RM500.
Don't ride your luck. They can still use the old currency value of RM3.80 = USD1 to tax you.

aight, then i will kawtim with the seller to give me invoice that will be less than rm300

i bought a digital camcorder+camera frm HK, no tax

it's time consuming to read the whole thing..

is there any list that we can refer to whether the items we import is taxable or not?..simplified to common items we import of course, not the customs' long list..

are clothing taxable?..would it be different if i import bulk of clothing and just 1 clothing..

if buying CD from Singapore,is it taxable? i think the price below SGD100 while shipping will using EMS.

pls refer to http://tariff.customs.gov.my/

for example, video camera is tariff under 8525, so is it exempted frm tax

wun kena tax.

Setel already?

yup setel yesterday. no tax (below rm500) at first the custom cannot trust my declare value because it's too cheap compare to the retail price found on the internet (they surf the net to check the price). but then i show them the print screen of my transaction, then he believe.

as long you bring the print screen of the transaction (online), all will be ok.


one more thing, is the pos/kastam open on saturday? coz i work on the weekdays, and dont have much time to go there every week. huhuh

Added on February 17, 2011, 4:47 pmi got 1 more situation, i have package sent from china using DHL, the price i bought is 4x cheaper that retail price (regular customer). currently i dont know if the seller put the actual value or not on the package, because before this the seller just use ems and just declare as gift.

so the problem is, what if the seller not put/declare the real value on the DHL package, will DHL pay for the tax by retail price or they will contact me first?

hi, i wanna buy an andriod tablet from overseas. the price tag is USD 550. shipping USD 50. would it kena tax? what diff of tax exemption is this tablet support 3G or only wifi version?

if your parcel value is more than RM450-rm500 u are in the category (might got tax) depends on luck sumtimes if ur stuff got held by custom or not:)

coz sumtimes if ur item value is just usd50 ,the custom might still hold ur item ...which required u to go to custom office to collect your item.hence u need to prepare urself the invoice to show them incase they need it to safe ur time.
and one more thing ,it depends on your supplier invoice which how they stated on the declaration form for ur item..
eg..if beauty product/farmasi item that COMFIRM that u will kena tax even ur value item is low only
