You may get tax, but note that the way to calculate whether you exceed RM 500 is slightly different. The way customs calculates whether you exceed RM 500 is as below:
value of item + freight charges + insurance
value of item = converted to RM
freight charges = based on their table, not what you paid
insurance = 1% of the converted value of the item
In my case, I ordered something from the states, which I paid RM 270 for (including shipping). But based on customs calculations, the total value came up to RM 570+, so I already exceeded the limit.
To add salt to wound, the shipper declared the item as plastic materials instead of toys, so I am being taxed RM 180+ (30% instead of 10%) for the shipment.
thats last part you could have negotiate with the officer.. 30% ouchvalue of item + freight charges + insurance
value of item = converted to RM
freight charges = based on their table, not what you paid
insurance = 1% of the converted value of the item
