There's a threshold value amount (and sizing) as to personal usage items, which is of not much commercial value accordingly to common-sense superceeded to local authorities' [Kastam] bible - subject to changes and the later reserves the final say.

But when it becomes a viable business gain, or you might be considering for Profit or further Business reason, whether just a few pieces, in bulk, or cyclical mass quantity importation into the country, you'll be exploring a long-term business solution for your calculated business, instead of playing russian roulette, where most matters have less of your control.

Basically, best to prevent the problems from starting, escalating to most of the example issues above... and also costs a ridiculous amount of unnecessary monies "On-Top of it" to further fix the problem, wasting time, travelling, headaches and again, your blood and sweat.

For simple plain shipping* from overseas back to M'sia, delivered to your doorstep:
(Hasslefree, including Custom handling & taxes, etc, etc)



- regardless if it is just 1 small item, bulk boxes, or container(s) cargo.

Or, if you require Purchasing service on your behalf (Esp. from the PRC factory of the world) tied to their AliPay TaoBao Alibaba systems:
(Smoothly, also including Custom handling & taxes, until doorstep delivery, etc, etc)

Hi guys,

I was told buying a watch online from sg, or overseas,there won't be import tax or duty right?

Thanks.

I like to import some adult toys in.
How many of you did that b4?

What is the procedures?

Please reply. Thanks.

what is the process to import cosmetic from oversea?
If one of my supplier send me the goods, what should I do so that my goods come in legally?
I heard that need go through National Pharmaceutical Control Bureau, anyone can share about this?

HI there, watches are DUTY FREE and u may import it as much you may want..


Adult toys ? it's collectibles? or some sort of X rated toys ?

Importation of toys needs consensus frm KPDNKK...Below link might help u:
http://www.kpdnkk.gov.my/c/document_librar...7&groupId=10137

You're right the approval frm National Pharmaceutical Control Bureau is required,
Nothing much complicated on the process, it's just u got to give them the sample of the product and the MSDS of the chemical and all related data
for your purchases prior to importation....the approval (license) will be issued right after upon their approval on lab testing and the validity is for 1 yr and can renewable on expiry....

If I import some product that also available in malaysia also need get aprroval by them?
I saw their website, the payment of 1 product is rm1000 for registration and the license is rm500 per year. is it correct?
So if i want to import 5 product i need to 5k for registration and 2.5k for license?

True, the charges are mostly for those big times importers whom brings in Bulk toys thru 40ft containerized
If u plan to get in 5 pcs only you may seek for exemption under "personnel collection" clause

Hi, May I know the customs tax declare at Port Klang by sea is it same procedure with the customs at LCCT by air one?

Hi, urgent， need help !

I bought some stuff from Korea and it's around RM480-500 value.

and I use EMS

when i tracking

At Poslaju stated

at the Korea EMS tracking system said,



customs declaration need to pay tax ?

This post has been edited by Shin~: Aug 21 2011, 01:54 PM

Just curious,
1) Meaning by not over Rm500? Even if the item is not taxable but the amount I paid is more than 500 so what kind of tax will I be imposed?
2) How should I pay tax, let say the good import is taxable. So do I just go to customer during the arrival and declare the tarif code to the custom and the goods value? So the goods value include shipping? What if the custom doesn't now agree with the tarif code I given? Regarding the tax declaration, how should i need to do? The shipper side will help me to declare or I need to go to custom and declare my self. Any appointed agent where I can apply and how much will they charge per trasnsaction.
3) Under what conditions, AP or import license is required? I tried to buy some dolls from china in buck and was adviced by my shipping company that I need AP or import license to bring those goods. So does it apply to those MC mark for those softtoys?
4) How many is consider self use or gift?

depenf on what item u are buying..if ur item sometimes ir more than /less than rm500 which u got tax,they will told u that its import procedure not under own usage category.
the custom officer will imform u that ur item need to be collected at their office and they would tell u on how to pay on the spot if ur item got tax.
normally 1-5 item is consider own usageif the value is not high/over the limit they set

just let the custom know is fake goods. you got to pay custom tax if got caught or if they call you.

they probably charge 20% to 30%. Nextime, let your seller know not to send with invoice. (optional : email)

atleast you can get your way out from custom by saying the imitation goods cost less than RM100.

I tried this with clothings and is based on true story, please do not blame if it doesn't work
