What do we do if Kastam didn't send any notice to pick up the item being held by kastam?
Is there any other way to retrieve the items?
Like who should we call?

I ordered a shampoo for my guinea pig at Gorgeous Guineas in the UK. Ordered on 13th March but still hasn't arrived. No letter from Customs also. They love to telan my parcels from the UK

How about shoes? How they charge it?

How about import cloth from Hong Kong?What is the tax rate?

Your lucky not to get your item "arrested" by the customs. For handphones, imported ones need a permit from SIRIM to be used. Its a one-time "special" permit that costs RM220 - RM250, depending on how fast you want the permit. The extra RM30 is to give an authorized officer chop the bloody form.

hmm...i import silver jewelery from china 2 time already, all around rm 700+ but dint kena custom tax

According to http://www.customs.gov.my/kastam/


Seems got new revision to tax rates. No more previous section codes liao.

For ltd edition toy/figure/statue collectors, check out HEADING 97..... I think this is the possible solution. 0% tax

Does this mean my item is stuck at customs and I'm screwed?

^You should be getting your notification letter tomorrow.
Well you're not that screwed, you're only screwed if you have to pay the tax fee.

I went there last thursday to pick up my package.
Pakcik custom declared my package as 5 shirts only and I didn't get taxed

Problem is that place is only open on weekdays and I'm working during weekdays.
Can I go there without the notification letter and what do I have to bring? I need the package urgently.
and what time do they open and close? Also how long does it take if I take the bus from KL Sentral to that place?

Added on April 20, 2008, 12:41 pmHow about used items? Since the item has no duty tax, it has a sales tax of 10%. If its a used item. is the sales tax still applicable?

If you can't got there, you can appoint Pos Laju as your custom agent but you need to pay RM49.50 if I'm not mistaken.
Its best that you have the notification letter as to avoid any hassle.
and if you're picking up a package for someone else just make sure you bring the person photostat IC. It didn't say so on the letter but the custom guy will ask you for it.

Important thing to bring is the notification letter, item invoice, IC and another form of identification e.g Driving License

I went there buy car, so I have no idea how long it will take to go by bus.

It's open on Saturdays till 3:30pm.

Great thanks for all the info guys. What does PKI notification mean?

hi,
my friend will send me parcel with cosmetic (not taxable right?),skin care prds (taxable?? %?), clothings and handbag(taxable how many %?)

second, it will be declare as gift. if my friend wrap all the items into boxes with gift paper, does it works? (example 4 gift-wrapped boxes into 1 parcel)

thanks,pls help
is that compulsory to fill in the value of parcel? using USPS.
anyone know does the above works? how to using own name? in the form, sender is my name; receiver also my name?? what if when kena custom, how to tell?

i want to know tht once ur parcel kena tahan by customs, does tht means tht my next parcel will kena also (same range of products? cos i read from another forum saying tht the name will be in the 'list' so the customs will pay like extra attention to items send to me in the future? how true is this?

Nobody monitors your activity lah. There are thousands of packages everyday lah.

It's luck. Sometimes escape sometimes kena.

sigh, i guess i rather the customs tahan my goods cos now some cosmetics goods r being detained by pharmacy. N i read on their site tht they can confiscate all my goods w/o reasons! I mean if customs detain ur goods, then its bout money but if its pharmacy, then its more difficult. Can anyone help me? Or does knowing any big shot helps? ;p

Hmmm ??
Who have using SHIP for shipping ???
for Air parcel is in LCCT then SHIP is which place ????
SHIP and Air parcel tax is same of different ??

How come detained by pharmacy? They acting as kastam?!
