Hi
for cigars less than a kg also charge RM200?

Hi, just another question here, in the event where the item is being held by the customs, will they be notifying us, and how? (if we don't have any tracking info of the shipment). Would labeling the item as 'gift' has any difference in regards to tax?

I intend to buy a PMP mp4 player. Does it need AP?
I might order from HK, price is below 500.
Taxable? I will ask them ship to my office. Can I declare as sample unit?

please helps me..

hi just curious, do you think custom track every single package you bought from oversea in their system?
i noticed if you buy for 1st - 2nd time, normally pass custom but when 3 times or more, they retain the stuff.
or just depends on luck?
if they ask you to pick up at lcct, do you think the name will blacklist in their system so in future they going to retain the your stuff again..

video camera won't need sirim approval eh?  what about those free gifts that come along such as memory card, tripod & pouch...  thks

I am aware that pc parts are non taxable(excluding casing and fans la)

however my shipment has been detained since early this week, im still awaiting their letter asking me to go down to collect it

http://trkcnfrm1.smi.usps.com/PTSInternetW...m=EB029992863US

Contents are as follows:
Radiators
waterblocks
6 feet of tubing
a tube of AS5 12g tube, which they may think its drugs or summthing
some rubber dampers for fans
some plastic springs
5x fan controllers

My question is, are the above items taxable (other then the tubing), if its not, then why was my shipment detained.

if it is taxable, approximately how much do i need to pay? as i cant find any of it in the kastam tax schedule, as well as how do i go down to collect it? or where do i go to? and procedures?

ps, i have yet to receive the letter

lol.... i mean it wasn't declared like that la, because i have yet to see the declaration form itself that is attached to the parcel....

got the letters last sat via poslaju, collected the parcels today, as i received both letters from postlaju last sat, and had to "yam cha" with the officer... if you know what i mean
yup its stucked all right

have a look at this pics



any ideas why was it stamped released and then cross stamped with tahan? 

Edit:
yam cha at 4pm monday (28/7) with the officer

I surfed the custom website but cannot find any ruling stating the RM500 threshold. Can anyone help? My blurays are coming in.....

Hello everyone..

I've read 15/30 pages from this thread and got a lot of information here..

But i still needed a brief info before I import a laptop/desktop from overseas..

1) Is it true if we purchase for personal used (laptop/desktop) / if we buy only one there will no tax for the laptop?

2) And how if I buying another same type of item and shipped it another day / reach here 1 or 2 days after the first item delivered do the custom will hold my item?

3) I want to buy five laptops from overseas but can I considered them as personal used?/

4) Do acer/dell/apple laptop need AP from SIRIM?

5) Is it true if the packaging labled used there are no tax on it? and do custom will check if the packaging is to big such as (24 inch LCD TV big) although it labled used?

6) I've ask the seller regarding the shipping of the item and He said the item will be sent to your house so if the item stuck at the port do i need to go there or just waiting the letter from UPS/DHL/TNT and pay away the tax then they will continue the delivery, is it right?

Really needed help     

Please reply  or PM me

How you bank to china ?  TT bank ?  ^.^!!!

Anyone has the same exp before?

hi guys, can you please help me understand how exactly Malaysian Customs charge us on importing tobacco (cigars). Last week I was charged RM395.94 for the cigars that I bought from overseas.

Here's the details:

I was charged under the 2402.10.000 (tariff code) which says:

Import Rate (RM200/KG) + Sales Tax 5% + Excise Duty 20% and 150 p.u. (per unit)

How do they calculate the unit? Mine was 1526.46.. I wonder where did they dig the figure from..

The total weight was 0.45 kg (which is 450g) - it was 45 sticks of cigars.

I bought the cigars for RM686.91 (it was 2 boxes of cigars and 2 sample packs of 5 cigars).

In the form, they said this:

Duti+Eksais+Cukai Jualan = Jumlah
RM90 + 254.38 +51.56 = RM395.94

by right, the excise duty is RM 137.39 (coz, 686.91 x 0.2 (which means 20%) = 137.39).. why is it 254.38??

and sales tax.. by right it should be just RM686.91 x 0.05 (which means 5%) = RM34.35, but they charge me RM51.56..

I am perplexed la.. BTW I attach the photo of the document here..

Can you guys please help?

Thanks a gee!
