I bought a DVD boxset and some clothes and it was supposed to be shipped together from US two months ago using USPS Priority Mail but its still not here. Is there any chance custom is holding it? I didnt get any letter yet and I am worried now :[

Is it taxable if we bring in toys/collectible toys from oversea?

thanks

Toys are taxable @ 15%

u can track it using custom reference number on ur priority mail in usps website..its will gv u the status of ur parcel wether its reach msia or not yet

thanks for the info bro

Hi I tried that method. It doesn't work. Apparently the reference number only works inside of United State but not when the parcel is out of US? It keep saying there's no record of this item

how about digital product like handphone or pda or digital screen ?
is it taxable?

Nope. It will tell u the latest status of the delivery process from US to M'sia.

Added on May 15, 2008, 8:14 pmnormally if your phone send by courier service(CS), this CS company will call u & instruct u to get AP.U must go to sirim and pay for AP ( normally this AP around 215)after that u must send that AP to CS company. CS company will use this AP for custom clearance and pay custom tax (normally 10%) if u buy phone 500.tax is 50, and back charge to u when CS company send this item to u. so total cost for your phone 500+215+50. i suggest if phone available in malaysia better buy in malaysia. if this phone declare as gift, it's depend on luck. if u lucky, u don't need to pay custom & AP

Sorry I don't know PDA & digital screen.

Added on May 15, 2008, 8:21 pmNormally USPS Priority will take 7-9 days to reach international destination. My experience is 3 days only!
Right after it reaches M'sia, the package will be handled by Pos Malaysia & delivered to ur house.
Did u ask seller for tracking number? U can check it here: http://www.usps.com/shipping/trackandconfi...trackandconfirm
Do always ask ur seller to include your phone no. on the package.

wow that's expensive to import tv phone then.

Hi owikh84, the charges of RM215 for AP, is it fix? Normally how Sirim calculate the AP charges?

Coz, I just bought a PDA phone from oversea and sending in by courier, it was hold back by custom and was told to get the AP.

I paid RM350 for the AP and processing charges of RM18. I wonder why my AP charges so high as compare to what u mentioned? Or I have been chop kau kau by Sirim

RM215 fixed. I am not sure how they calculate it perhaps u could ask SIRIM & the RM18?

The reference number works for parcels inside and outside of US. But I am worried since your parcel is 2 months old the tracking might have already been removed from their system.

You can try calling KLIA POS and provide them with your USPS Tracking code and see if they have it in POS system

You can also try checking here http://www.pos.com.my/v1/?c=/v1/TrackTrace...l/trackmenu.asp

Hi, last thursday I juz bought a Meraki Mini wifi router product and it's cost about $49 dolar and it's not selling it here. But am forgot to inform the seller to declare the parcel as a "Computer Parts". But I do email to the seller try to ask them to declare again the product. Beside that I also email the UPS courier service to declare my parcel as a "Computer Parts" to go thru Malaysia Custom. UPS already replied to me and said they will inform the their Import Dept to do so. Do you guys think it wll be any problem. I need your guys advise.

If cannot that I would dispute my cc during the payment.

Thank you in advance.

Whatever package reaches Malaysia, customs sure will open up & inspect one. So no need think about declaration. I think yours is tax free since it's less than RM500 (if u declared the price)

how about guitar?
kene tax?

Yes. 10% sales tax applied. If u declared it as used guitar, taxless.

ok la
i put it 2nd hand or refurbished?
