Just wonder what is the correct term to be used to check out the tax information on http://tariff.customs.gov.my/ for books (fiction and non-fiction)?

I used "book", "novel", "publication" and even "buku", but the result was irrelevant. The only one that I thought quite matches the condition is "-In book form", which the code is 490591000. Is this the correct one?

Thanks in advance.

Based on your description above it should be printed books.

maybe this link below will help

thanks for the feedback, high chance l gonna take the risk, beter cross my finger and pray to lady luck, local seller price raised
again thanks for the help!!

Thank you very much! So the HS Code should be 4901.

all reading books are tax free, government encourage reading

4901 isn't a complete code, only the header

You should be using the Malaysian tariff website :

Oops...should be more specific, sorry. I got the same result as what you've shown, and glad that books are tax free no matter how many copies I buy.

Hi All,

Would like to ask the tax for carrying(hand carry) LEGO toys across JB custom (into M'sia)?

Is it 10% for toys? and no tax if item value below RM500?

I kena 1 time the custom officer told me if I'm working in SG I am not entitled to get exemption even if the value of item below RM500, moreover the board notice in JB custom stated very unclear that 'all' goods will subject up to 30% tax except tobacco,liquor, drugs.

Thus, I kena 1 time 30% but I underquote my item since no receipt brought together.

Hi, I would like to ask for some information concerning postages from overseas through EMS.

If I were to order a TCG Deck (Trading Card Games) that costs about Rm 60 and get it shipped through EMS, will it get detained by customs or kena tax of the sort?
I'm rather worried about the package being detained at KLIA and requiring me to do some needless tasks. .-.

The package is some where around this :
Weight: 0.4kgs
Package Size: 4cm x 16cm x 9cm

Thanks in advance.

I am planning to buy a lot of stuffs from an eBay seller and would like it to be shipped by ocean freight as I assume it would be the cheapest, but it's quite hard for me to get details. Been searching high and low. I'm planning to get it shipped from US, Philadelphia. Anyone can advice me please? Which shipping way would be cheapest. I also heard having a business account with shipping company would give me great discount but I'm not running any business. Also regarding taxes, how much taxes would my vinyl records be and probably a few cd albums too. Please advise! If I have posted on the wrong thread please direct me. Newbie here. Thanks!

Hi, I am very new at importing stuff. I was wondering if I purchase video games in bulk from overseas, how much tax will be applied? Is it 10% duty import and 10% sales tax? I'm trying to do the calculations to determine how much the total cost is if I obtain supplies from other countries.

Also, is it usually the case where the courier will clear the tax for us and deal with kastam? So we'll just have to wait for the items to arrive at our address and pay the tax amount to the courier upon arrival?

Thanks.

One question,

If I consolidated tax & duty free items with taxable & dutiable, how the CIF will be calculated? Since the CIF is not 100% belongs to the taxable & dutiable item. Anyone knew?

shipping by ocean freight anything taxable above RM250(inclusive shipping) will be tax, if you import using company you will need to appoint a shipping agent that will cost you a few hundred ringgit in fee's. If you import for personal use then appointing shipping agent will not be required. But will take months to reach you
