Ok guys, I need your advice humbly here.

I thought of doing a bulk order some a backpack from ebay that will cost a total value of about RM 1.5k.

My question is,

Will I be taxed and how much will it be? I need to know as I have to charge my buyers the right price too.

Wat does this means?
sorry i know this has been asked a thousand times, but In customs means stuck in customs@@?

ive jsut ordered from US a figurine costing RM1600 per unit, the problem is the seller does not under declare, so how ah?? Do i have to pay tax?? but its one unit for personal use worr

the status still in custom.
1 day liao =(
hopefully tomoro come out of there >..<" I dont want to declare>...<"

****hopefully it can pass kastam **** =.="

No time to look through the entire thread but if your item is valued at US$900, are they gonna expect you to pay 5%/10%/25% tax in US dollars too? And if the item is shipped via FedEx, etc, do you still have to collect it yourself at customs or will FedEx appoint an agent to deal with them?

I think for any import items above RM500, there will be import tax being charged. Usually taxed between 10%-50% of the total amount, it depends.
Unless total amount below RM500, it may be exempted.

Hi, i need some help here. My parcel got stuck at kastam butterworth. Anyone knows the contact number over there?

And pos laju didnt even send me a card telling me that my items got stuck.

This is the product i imported in..http://decaslim.com/
Full of vitamins and nutrients.
so i can expect clearance from the custome if i show them the website?

Woo hoo my shades just arrived!
No tax! Only took 7 days to reach from the US....

Does Kastam have any right to lump separate packages (sent by EMS) together for it to exceed RM500? Individually packages are well below RM500.

Thanks.

Guys, I intend to import spark plugs. Did a search @ customs website there's a category "Sparking Plugs" code 8511 with no information on tax and import duty. Does that mean it is not taxable? Cause customs can just put it under another category which is taxable.

year bro, u right but somehow all members here keep repeating that only items exceeding a value of RM500 would be taxed...dunno why

oo nice i've just bumped into this thread post, anyway i think i am going to have some trouble with my shipment from japan, what happen is i pooled together with my friends to buy some figurines from japan as we buy together/bulk can get cheaper price and share shipping, the problem is tehre is around 25 pvc figurines and totalling around rm1,300 which the seller declared in actual and all in one box -.-""

I am afraid i might get taxed, how should i handle this? the item just departed japan today..I am also not sure how much tax to expect....
