Hi, im wondering if i buy , maybe 20 pieces of bateries from ebay, will it be tax by kastam? will it held by them or anything?

1st time import stuff from oversea country, need some useful info from u all. =)
*
air freight more than >RM500 (item+postage) will be tax
by surface/sea >RM250 (item+postage) will be tax

computer items are tax free, but even thou expensive stuff need to be declared like RM1000 above items... so you need to fill up forms in the "kastam" office to get it clear or just get pos malaysia or your courier to do it for you for a fee

You may get tax, but note that the way to calculate whether you exceed RM 500 is slightly different. The way customs calculates whether you exceed RM 500 is as below:

value of item + freight charges + insurance

value of item = converted to RM
freight charges = based on their table, not what you paid
insurance = 1% of the converted value of the item

In my case, I ordered something from the states, which I paid RM 270 for (including shipping). But based on customs calculations, the total value came up to RM 570+, so I already exceeded the limit.

To add salt to wound, the shipper declared the item as plastic materials instead of toys, so I am being taxed RM 180+ (30% instead of 10%) for the shipment.
*
thats last part you could have negotiate with the officer.. 30% ouch

I don't think so. The way it works (at least when I order from the Blizzard Store anyway) is that the shipping company has already paid for the tax, so they are asking me to pay them back essentially.

Anyway, I have already told them I refuse the package and told them to ship back to Blizzard. The shipper (FeDex) says they will charge the tax and shipping fee back to the sender (Blizzard)
*
fedex will call you upfront and tell you the amount of Malaysia Tax you have to pay.. which they will bill you later when cod.. if you agree to receive delivery..

looks like no duty or import tax on these but there is a 10% sales tax...
you might want to confirm again with a Customs Officer

will it be tax free since all camera and its accesories is already tax free?

amount will be like 3k-4k

you will still need to do declaration even thou no duty/tax, which might be troublesome/waste time/money if you go your self, might just want to let pos malaysia do on your behalf with minimal charges by them.

Hi guys,

i've bought a laptop from US and now it's been detained by the kastam here. I understand that laptop or computer are tax exemption but what should i do if the kastam keep insist to ask me to pay for the tax charges?

please advise. Thank you.
*
they wont ask for tax.. they just need you to declare high price item... you will need to get pos malaysia write you a letter(they charge around RM25 something if not mistaken) and pass back to them, open box show them laptop.. youre done, go home.. but i think its a waste of time if you do it your self, cause of time, petrol, tol... better just assign pos to do it for you.. they charge extra forgot how much to do it for you... all you have to do is just wait at home

Anyone knows if clothes are taxable? I bought some unbranded clothes/accessories and a pair of shoes from various korean websites, consolidated into one shipment.

I just did the tracking and found this.

Customs retention reason : High-value goods - Official customs declaration required

This is the first time my things kena held up. Anyone can advise? I never had such problems when i was living in singapore =(

yes there's tax... shipping+item >RM500 yes

Hi bro, I took the trouble to go down to Pos Malaysia at LCCT. Quite troublesome, However, I didnt get taxed after the officer asked me what was inside. Didnt even ask me to open up my box. Guess I must had been really lucky. Lesson learnt, next time I'm never attempting to ship a consolidated shipment of barang barang to malaysia ever again. Too much time and effort wasted just for some clothes that I thought could be bought cheaply online...

hi! I just bought a pair of shoes from UK and its been stuck at Cawangan Serahan Seri Kembangan for a week! I had no idea until this morning. Apparently there was an 'attempted delivery' while I was at home last monday but I did not receive any card. Personal rage issues aside tongue.gif, can anybody tell me where is this Cawangan Serahan Seri Kembangan? I called pos care malaysia and they gave me an address in Bandar Baru Bangi: 040 Jalan P/21, Taman Industri Selaman, 43650, BBB.

Is this correct? I just thought it would be a bit dodgy that a Seri Kembangan branch would be in Bangi. Thank you for your help!
