Anybody know if I order a GPS device will I be taxed?

http://www.ebay.com.my/itm/NEW-GARMIN-GLO-...#ht_1177wt_1139

Is it considered a radio device? It has GPS and bluetooth. But the value including shipping is less than RM500. Replies appreciated.

GPS Navigation Device have a tax @ 10%, and subject to Customs Prohibition of Import Orders 2012 (updated, enforcement start 1 March 2013) with HS code 8526, which means you need to apply for SIRIM Import Permit

Is electronic Dictionary from Japan (Price rm 500+) have tax?

This is for self use and i am buying from Rakuten Global.

Anyone use the Rakuten Global service?

Electronic Dictionary (with electronic micro assemblies) have no tax. Exact HS Code used is 8543709100.

Thank you Laptab for the reply.

Hi, I am wondering about if these will be taxed.

It is a fan made items..
Photobook (150pages), CD of recordings on singing, Keychain, a calendar.. Are these under taxes..?

welcome

lol, the rakuten shop cancelled my order for electronic dictionary due to they didnt have import permit.

Is the shop have to apply import permit for 1 pc of purchase?

all of the mentioned items have a tax except Photo Book (may be classified as printed book, but need to be specified e.g. printed, hardcover, wholly from paper etc);
CD whether or not recorded: 10% total
Calendar (printed on paper): 30% total
Keychain (made wholly from plastic or glass): 10% total.

Electronic Dictionary no need to apply for import permit, because the items is not under Customs Prohibition of Import Orders regulation. I think maybe they aren't authorized (from manufacturer) to export the dictionary outside of their country.

um, im also have a question about the custom tax
how much the tax if i wan to import a gym equipment in 20cbm contenna from china but nt full contenna , around half of it, weight around 2 ton , cost around RM 20 to 25 k
do i need to have the import license?

Actually physical exercise equipments (HS code 9506) don't have any tax and not subject under new Customs Prohibition of Import Orders (new enforcement starting March 2013) regulation, but since you want to import it in bulk, I suggest you to contact Customs regarding this matter for further clarification.
