you should wait..maybe customs will contact you.

Just a reminder; if you buy something from overseas, avoid from ask your seller/shipper to mark your items as 'Gift', as it will just make your items held by customs longer and longer ;-) . Be honest as Royal Customs hate if you mark your items as 'Gift'.

Want to ask if tax toys and figurines is 5% or 10%. Thanks in advance.

Can I know how a Nintendo 3DS tax charged ?
I think it is charged under code 950450000 so I need to pay total 20% of the tax ?
And did I need SIRIM approval for it ?

laptab, where do u refer to the codes and percentage charged? can i have the link to the doc? ive tried to search in kastam website but link was dead or something. thanking in advance.

Hi Laptap,

A few question regarding taxes.
I'm using the dutycal website as you suggested and get this result:

http://www.dutycalculator.com/new-import-d...ails/185123283/

1. Is that everything under RM500 would not be charged for tax/duty?
2. If the shipment is over RM500, and kastam wants to apply duty/tax, would my courier settle the bill first and charge me for the extra fees when they deliver?
3. Or the kastam will straight hold the item and I need to travel down to their office to get the shipment?
4. If a shipment to an address but the items are separated into 2 invoices, each RM400, would that make the exemption for the tax/duty?

Thank you.

Hi, it me again.
can I import commemorative coin/notes? If yes, use which courier services that can allow?

1. Not all, better prepare for the tax if the items was taxable items.
2/3. Courier like Fedex will settle it for you and charge you when they deliver.
4. No

Hi Laptab,

Thanks for your quick reply.
What do you mean by prepare the tax?
How do we pay the tax even before the kastam tax us?

I mean, prepare the money to pay the tax. If you use premium courier like Fedex, they will pay the tax on your behalf and charge you later, when they deliver your items.

Just sent an email to Kastam to get exact amount of tax of the toy lightsaber that I want to buy was told it was 10% of sales tax. But then I was informed that I need to check with KPDNKK for Certificate of Conformance since it was a toy.

Anyone have problem buying toys from oversea and need to get this Certificate of Conformance?

I don't want to be spending more than Rm1200 and then my toy cannot be claim from custom due to problem with Certificate of Conformance.

Contact KPDNKK.. maybe you can apply for 'exemption letter' because your toys is for personal use and not for re-sale right?..

HELP!!!
My goods shipped from Korea to Malaysia. (skincare) I received a call from 03-8787 2020 telling me my parcel is held by Customs. The lady on the phone told me to go and declare it. Before go, please call Pos Malaysia.

So is this number from Pos Malaysia or Customs at KLIA?? Should I call Pos Malaysia or can actually straight away to KLIA to declare my goods? I need to prepare an invoice? Can I ask from my supplier to prepare an invoice for me and I print it out to show the customs?

My goods is around RM900- RM1k after shipping fees added...But I don't know what's the goods value my supplier written on the form. I already asked her and waiting for her reply.

Anyone with experience could help me about the procedure?

By the way, the retention reason of my goods is High-value goods. Official customs declaration required.
