Hey guys,

For the past I bought sandals (Rm300) and some cases (Rm100+) from ebay uk and luckily I didnt get tahan by kastam or anything, and at that time I wasnt even thinking about getting tahan by the kastam or get taxed. I also bought some clothes cost about 1k+ from ebay and the item receive at my doorstep nicely. I think I just being lucky.

But after reading all of your comments, I get quit scared and I'm about to buy some watch from amazon us costs about Rm1400+.

So any of u had any experienced regarding buying watch from amazon us and get taxed ? And any explanation how our tax and kastam stuff works ?

if i wish to buy electronic or pc part like ram and ssd which consolidated and the item+shipping is over RM500 will i get tax? since i saw previous post said that electronic stuff is tax free.

Hi everyone,

I am thinking of getting a friend in the USA buy me an electric sewing machine and send it to me here in Malaysia via UPS (since obviously sewing machines in the States are way cheaper than in Malaysia). The sewing machine would cost about US$150.

Does anyone know if this is taxable at all?

Thanks!

PS: Would buying a refurbished set making any difference at all?

I buy Lego toy from us...it will tax for it?

Hi i have someone in the US that can send me the headphones as a gift and can help declare it in a lower value will i be taxed ?

Total cost : 270USD (Will declare 100-150 usd)

If the goods are not in a container then it should be no problem.
If using postage such as DHL or FedEx are costly but will surely end up infront of your doorstep..

What do you mean using Fedex or DHL i would be avoiding tax?

if buy guitar from oversea , how much they imposed tax to us?

Got a white letter to pick up my items from KLIA, it's collector toys and priced at 250$ usd, do you think, i need to pay taxes? Or would they just let it go ? Because alot of the charge is the shipping. 100$ usd for shipping.

yes, tax incurred includes the items's price together with the shipping fees.

hye..i want to buy some cds from japan..so do you think which one is better, Fedex or EMS? when i saw the shipping charge for fedex, its much cheaper..but i dont later they charge me more

Hi, sorry if you get this question a lot. If I were to import clothes (tshirts) from the US that costs more than RM500, how much is the tax? Sales tax? Import tax? Are the tax based on item + shipping? Or total cost? Thanks in advance.

hi, i'm probably gonna order a pair of headphones from amazon for 50usd but my friend there is gonna ship it here by USPS. any idea if i'll get taxed for it? any of you guys ordered any headphones before? appreciate your help guys
i calculated and the shipping weight should only be 1.6pounds as the real product is only 1.5pounds

I'm getting this message from the POS Malaysia tracking service:
Item held by custom for inspection.
Importation restricted - item not delivered
Does that mean that my item is held temporary for inspection or it's already been detained due to importation restriction?

Hey guys I just got my watch all the way from US. I just knew that there is no taxes for watch. So dont hesitate to buy watch from overseas and plus the watch I bought from US is Rm600 cheaper than the one sell in Malaysia.

Agree!

my pals and i buy all our watches overseas from one of the sellers on LYn and theyre definitely cheaper than here.
some models are not available here..items arrive fast n in perfect condition..no hassle!!
really worth it!

Hye guys,

I'm staying in Japan right now and my friend ordered a helmet since there are a bunch of choices of helmet here & cheaper than Malaysia too.

So, if i buy a helmet for him and post to him (in Malaysia) using EMS.

Will the item arrived safely infront his doorstep? Will he has to pay any tax or whatsoever?

Anyone has experienced buying a helmet from overseas? Need help here

My stuff also got held bu custom, if I go down for self clearance am I able to get it on the spot compare if I hire an agent which need bout 2 weeks time?

Edited: Wrong thread sorry.
