Has anyone bought skincare from Sasa.com recently ? I'm worried my package will get hold up.
I emailed the Custom enquiry , the response is really fast .
It says skincare (except powder) has no tax/duty, which is great.
But needs approval/permit from the National Pharmacy.

Hello kyleen,

I have not order skincare from Sasa.com, but I had order skincare products twice from US Site shipped by DHL.

It is correct that there is no tax/duty. However, need approval/permit from National Pharmacy.
My first time, I went through without any hiccup. However, this time (current DHL status: Clearance Delay) facing hiccup. DHL called to ask for more information regarding the products. Sigh, hopefully no problem.

Hey Kyleen,

i ordered from Sasa.com around February and my parcel came with a warning letter from the Pharmaceutical board or customs (i cant remb which one); it stated that i needed to have registration/permit to 'import' cosmetics... lol, it was for personal use. fyi, my order was a 400ml toner, 2 tubs of mask and a eyeliner.
apparently there's a new regulation that started on 1st Jan 2012 that restricted the purchase of cosmetics from overseas.

my orders last year did not have this problem...

SIGH.

i also dunno how to get my cosmetics from overseas now.....

hi guys, can you please help me understand how exactly Malaysian Customs charge us on importing tobacco (cigars). Last week I was charged RM395.94 for the cigars that I bought from overseas.

Here's the details:

I was charged under the 2402.10.000 (tariff code) which says:

Import Rate (RM200/KG) + Sales Tax 5% + Excise Duty 20% and 150 p.u. (per unit)

How do they calculate the unit? Mine was 1526.46.. I wonder where did they dig the figure from..

The total weight was 0.45 kg (which is 450g) - it was 45 sticks of cigars.

I bought the cigars for RM686.91 (it was 2 boxes of cigars and 2 sample packs of 5 cigars).

In the form, they said this:

Duti+Eksais+Cukai Jualan = Jumlah
RM90 + 254.38 +51.56 = RM395.94

by right, the excise duty is RM 137.39 (coz, 686.91 x 0.2 (which means 20%) = 137.39).. why is it 254.38??

and sales tax.. by right it should be just RM686.91 x 0.05 (which means 5%) = RM34.35, but they charge me RM51.56..

I am perplexed la.. BTW I attach the photo of the document here..

Can you guys please help?

Thanks a gee!

Oh. No wonder, my shipment was on hold and I was verbally advised by DHL Agent regarding the permit issue.
My last order in December (ETA Malaysia) do not have this problem as well.
