"above rm500 is taxable" <---is this amount including the shipping cost or only total amount of the product?

includes the shipping fee.

Anyone have any idea on who would be contacting you if your items are tahan by custom? Im receiving goods from oversea, it is a standard mail most probably will behandled by posmalaysia. So , who will contact you if the items are tahan by custom?

pos malaysia will send you a notification via pos.. but if you know your tracking id and sure that its already reach malaysia, you can "try" call them at LCCT Pos...

Hi All,


Thanks for the feedback. Will be prepared the next time.

BUT, now i am facing another problem. ITEMS MISSING from my two shipment. Two dresses were missing. How do i claim about this? Cos, the invoice were lowered due to avoid tax, but now when the items missing, How should i claim about it? Do i haven to claim at invoice prices or the actual price. Please help me on this. Thanks everyone

If you are using courier service you can do dispute, but bfore you receive goods and sign off.... to purposely under declare to avoid tax is an offence by law....you might wanna retract your statement.

I want to ask if I am buying a pair of turntable which cost me RM1800 from Ebay (they offered me free shiping at total cost of RM1800)

I will kena tax how much?

I dunno the actual shipping cost from their end.

Will it possible write as Gift from seller?

Hi guys, spent around 1 hour reading the 100 pages of this forum but still don't quite get about how it works. I hope that someone can really answer my question over here.

1) Anything + Shipment that exceeds RM500 is taxable. Confirm taxable only after RM500? Below that?

2) Here's my case :
I bought 1 Keyboard (RM36) + 1 USB Hub (RM18) + 1 Watch (RM74) + shipment fee RM42 = RM164 in total. Will this parcel kena tax due to the watch?

It ships from China (Taobao[dot]com = China Ebay)

3) Another parcel:
I plan to buy a Blackberry phone that cost RM240 or a Motorola phone that cost RM260 which I will only select one, include shipping and all will be around RM300 per parcel. Will this parcel be taxed due to the phone? But it is not exceeding RM500 limit right?

4) Lets say today the parcel with phone is taxed and stuck in custom. How many percent should I pay for the phone? The charge the percentage base on the price listed on the Online Site or base on Malaysia Market Price (Market price as in official RRP or Lowyat kind of street price)?

Thank youu, this will help me a lot.

Hi,

I plan on purchasing cosmetics online from overseas. But may I know what is the limit of purchase/amount before it get taxed? I read somewhere saying not more than £50 and I am safe. Is it true?

Would like to know as I have purchased about total of 9 items and the total I have to pay is about £32. It reached me safely in less than 2 weeks after placing the order. It was my first successful overseas purchase.

I googled and came across this website : http://www.customs.gov.my/index.php/en/com...ry-po?showall=1

It says that cosmetics are under non-dutiable except face powder. But its a 2009 version, and I tried googling a 2012 version but no avail.

Anyone with experiences regarding my issue, please advice and would like to know before I delve into the business.

Thank you.

Hello, I'm very exasperated right now. I've bought an LED monitor from South Korea and having it shipped through Fedex. They said that because it is an LED monitor, they are charging me under TV instead and that would cost me 25% + 10% tax.

The HS code is 8528.59 000

Shouldn't it be under computer monitor instead? And that wouldn't have any tax on it either right?

i ordered some vitamin supplement from bodybuilding.com and i was told by the seller i used to buy from that malaysia customs block this type of goods and i just burned my money. it was shipped using dhl. can anyone tell me if this is true? thanks!

Kastam been quite strict recently...even parcel below RM 500.00 will be detained...

anyone experienced same thing???

Yes, so true. They desperately want to fund for PRU 13, come from ***** source

No wonder they even changed my code even tho it should have been free of tax. Almost caused me RM400 worth of tax

so what do you guys think about the 2 bottles of supplement that I bought? thanks!

Just now went to claim my parcel...brought my invoice n showed the officer...he just LEPASKAN my parcel...

Kastam warehouse is full of parcel...i asked the warehouse exec "baru2 ni kastam suka tahan barang ya?"..the exec just smile...

Also KLIA PMK just changed staffs...maybe this is also one of the reason...
