Handphone is not illegal item.
You can follow this steps to get the Sirim approval.

QUOTE(enCORe @ Jun 3 2008, 09:19 AM)
ok
If the item was detained (in my case h/p), straight to Sirim Shah Alam, bring the detained statement/letter. Dont go LCC-PMK (Pejabat Mel & Kurier) because POS wont allow the item retreive out, I already look for 'nego' they wont bother. The Pos staff (in room2) tell me Iv no choices because my packages was opened even my friends write 'a GIFT for FRIENDS", and it was recorded.  sad.gif

Then I go to Sirim with komuter and stop at Shah Alam, I take cab to Sirim -Seksyen 2. Once get there lend your driving card to counter and proceed to Building no 9, thx to Security that point me the building. Geti inside building 9, take your Q' number, fill the form at the counter. They give me 2 form to fill up. Iv to pay RM200 firm and they give me receipt, and contact number with AP file number.

The process of AP is 24 hours, due Im late to get there my AP (arrive there 3pm) I have to call next day. So best is to get there early morning so they can accomplish soon as possible. There are no way to speed up the AP process because Sirim have to wait Customs respond for each transaction.

Next day, I need to call the contact to get the AP number, jot down the number and bring it to LCC-PMK to claim it. Due workdays Im not yet retrieve the item  sad.gif .

Its very troublesome, they should integrate Sirim and Customs in one building 

For public transport users, you can take komuter and disembark @  Shah Alam station (trip around 30 min), taxi cost is RM5 one trip.

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?

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..

Duty& tax incurred is 10% sales tax.
You can be exempted if your CIF value is less than RM500
No matter how you declare, it depends on your luck if they want to check or not.

5% import duty, 10% sales tax.
There is no direct code for this, depends on your luck. Maybe custom officers think it is non dutiable.

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 sad.gif

1. When ppl say radiator... what do you think of? car spareparts lor
2. Rubber & spring dutiable
3. Tubing? PVC tube?
The thing is, base on your description above, I won't be surprised if even IT students also won't know they are for computers.

What's the status now?
I think you would better go to the LCCT to handle it yourself. If you let USPS do it, they'll just follow whatever the Custom require.

Are you sure it is stucked? According to the USPS tracker, is only less than 2 days (July 24th) it has arrived into custom. It takes them 7-10 business days before they start inform you.
