(WTA) Hey guys. I just ordered Scuf controller (for Xbox 360 console) from US. Total item cost including shipping is ~RM560. Shipping will be handled by FeDex. If my good gonna be detained by Customs, how to appoint FeDex to clear my duty / tax?

I've bought music CDs several times from Japan too, but only albums CDs. And all using CDJapan.

Where did you buy them from? And which shipper did they use? (fedex? dhl?)

I've never exceeded 10,000 yen in my purchases before, even with shipping included. So I'm very curious about this.

When you bought the thing, did you give the company your contact number as well? Like handphone or house phone no?

Fedex will contact you using that number. They will state how much you have been taxed, and ask whether you agree to this. If you agree, then Fedex will pay customs the taxed amount first.

Then when they come to deliver the goods to you, you give the money directly to the Fedex guy.

I bought from cdjapan (http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/) also.

I used fedex for all 3 purchases because my first purchase with shipping via fedex was satisfactory.. good tracking + fast..

here's the breakdown of the items i bought..

Purchase 1 (with free gifts of 3 posters):
3 singles (all w/DVD) - 1429yen x3 = 4287 yen
shipping (fedex) - 1940 yen
Total: 6227 yen
Final total after redeem points: 5927 yen
Tax/duty @ MS custom: MYR 0

Purchase 2 (with free gifts of 3 posters):
5 singles 1 album (3 w/ DVD) - 8366 yen
shipping (fedex) - 2100 yen
Total: 10466 yen
Final Total after redeem points: 10349 yen
Tax/duty @ MS Custom: MYR 60.35

Purchase 3:
1 single 2 albums (2 w/DVD 1 w/magazine cover) - 7474 yen
shipping (fedex) - 2100 yen
Total: 9574 yen
Final Total after redeem points: 9574 yen
Tax/duty @ MS Custom: MYR 56.40

This is the breakdown of details of my purchases le.. it's less than RM 500, but dunno why they charge me 10% duty (as per written in that receipt).. they randomly add some figures then take 10% off from it..

later if i can, after my class, i go take picture of the receipts and attach here..

Thank you for explanation. Of course I will agree to any duty cost since I cannot tahan loo. XD

Yup my delivery address complete with phone number etc.

But normally when I use FeDex service, the delivery to my address (when item clear out from airport customs) normally been arranged by Gdex. Not sure about how exactly FeDex gonna pay first the duty / tax amount and then they ask Gdex to collect from me 'cashly'?

Eh? First time I heard of that. My last purchase got taxed (a DVD), but I deal directly with Fedex.

Maybe they have some kind of arrangement or something? But when they notify you about the tax, you can call the customer service people back regarding how to pay the tax if you're not sure.


EDIT: Did some Googling. Apparently GDex is their 3rd party service provider (maybe one of many). So if you live in an area where there are no Fedex branches nearby, they ask these companies to help deliver.

Hah....coz this is why https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2863345
I order for CDJapan and with Fedex's help they i got the tax fee brakdown

Erk... like that ah?

Last March, I bought 2 music CDs (both albums) thru CDJapan, but shipped them using EMS.

No tax. So does that mean if EMS no tax imposed? Since EMS will be delivered by Pos Malaysia?

1.
If you quote "cables" yes, 30%.
If you quote "computer adapter" no.
But still you need to declare high price item, means it will be stopped by Customs from declaration.

if its for Uni just bring letter from your uni declaring its for academic and not for resale

can, as long as its not illegal item and for tax! by air RM500 (item+shipping) no tax, if got, dispute.

who declare for you?

Seems like this is what happened for my case. any way to avoid getting charged that kos tambang dagangan? cause if they charge like that, very very easy to get tax.. cause the kos tambang dagangan minimum edi RM 322.. means my package + shipping cannot exceed RM 178.. -.-

FedEx.. why?

can i know how to dispute if got tax?

hi,pls quote me this

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=1513882...=0.0.0.0.guJlv3

package 1 (¥368.00)

TQ

No sure for your case , based on the letter it says "BAGI DAGANGAN YANG DIHANTAR MELALUI SYARIKAT-SYARIKAT KURIER KE MALAYSIA"
Pos Malaysia not considered as SYARIKAT KURIER?? Or could it be after they charge the KOS TAMBANG DAGANGAN your parcel still below RM500?
Or because your shipping detail stated all the fees breakdown with shipping fees and tax all those stuff??

Well, theoretically is either you make your parcel ABOVE 500KG
or stay safe with parcel not exceed RM178.
Still needs more people to confirm

This guy says
So far i haven't have anyone confirming this
