I don't think mobile phone cases need permit...
DHL helped me cleared the detained shipments a few times... End up paying custom duty fees only with 2~3 (1 working day) days of delay. so fast and efficient.

Guys, if I were to buy clothes & cosmetics online from US, how much would tax be?

If RM500 below no tax, do they calculate it as items total RM500 or items + shipping total RM500?

Thanks thanks!

Edit: Woot! I just called kastam & they were really helpful in helping me out on how to avoid tax!

Clothes & Bags - only 10% sales tax. No more 20% duties!! Any amount of clothes apparently..
As long as the total is below RM500 (including shipping, insurance, etc), no tax is applicable!!
But even if I were to label them as gifts & the total is RM1000, I will still be taxed

Cosmetics - No tax!! 
But the health ministry says not to bring in more than 10 units of each item or else will kena tahan & will need to get permit from Health Ministry.
He also mentioned that the safest bet is to bring in 1 unit each (1 month's consumption). So if I were to buy 9 lipgloss, all in different shades, its still fine!

But don't count on all that info, make the call yourself just to be sure -

Kastam 03-7806 7200
Health Ministry - 03-7841 3200
Cosmetics dept - 03-7883 5400
Enforcement dept - 03-87872437

Good luck!

if i import a mobile phone from oversea will i get tax? for personal usage

Recently i just bought goods mainly apparel from UK. today i received email from DHL parcel pending tax clearance. I understood mine worth more than RM1k as per invoice and current exchange rate but what I dont understand is the exchange rate used by Customs as of 6/6/2011 for calculating sales tax is 1 Pound = RM6.4842. If they used rate like 1 Pound = RM5.1 or RM5.2, I still consider it acceptable.

Does any of you happen to face this kind of outdated  exchange rate used by Customs?
