please pm me also

Was wondering British Airmail will take how long?

Hi guys...

Are those slimming patch and detox patch considered cosmetics also? I tried to import some, but supplier told me might have problem with customs as their courier service told them the patch consists traditional medicinal powder, which is prohibited from sending via courier/air mail. The other issue is if our custom will require us to apply for special license for this.

Please advice...i want to get in for personal use.

Thanks so much!

is this the PO at town or at Piasau ?

I'm waiting for my 8 pcs of cd from Indonesia,now after going thru this thread I'm going to have a restless night

Last time I always get stuff thru ebay (cheap one only,like cap,cd,dvd,guitar stuff) no problem,no tax,

suddenly one time I got 3 package not receive ...

luckily i can get 2 of them refunded while the other one too cheap to claim ..but still I loss on postage ..

I'm getting phobia ordering online after that....

Start shopping online again recently after discovering LNY

Hi,

I have no idea..

It never came so after 6 months I contacted the seller,luckilly 2 of them agree to refund.

It's always depends on luck.

hey guys, i'm a bit of a loss as how to navigate that tariff sight, and the search function does not answer my query. i intend to import bulk PDA batteries, from Hong Kong, any idea what the tax would be?

Guys,

Is there any proof or document showing item's value below RM 500 is non-taxable??

I ordered 3 bluray dvds from amazon and it's about RM 400+.

I remembered last year i ordered 1 bluray dvd less than RM 200 and the bloody customs tax me 40% + 10% service!

Since I read so many forumers here saying below RM 500 is not taxable, how do I "remind" the custom officers?

hey. hope u dun mind me asking, i intend to get a tiffany sterling ballpoint pen from ebay, if the item reach malaysia, wil they be detained by the kastam? cos i really worry if they do as i dun have tht time to go all the way there or the transport let alone

the total amount will not b more than $100 though

Btw,

My item has arrive.

From Indonesia EMS arrive here by PosLaju.

Thanks all

they just open it and check.

KDN also does the same.

If Kastam do seize the item..they're going to inform you ... i think.

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

Ask the officer to read:
Custom Duties Exeption Order 1988, Perkara: 172

hi!

what if i want to send a camera to someone in overseas.

what are the procedures? what are the cost? declare tax ?

hi guys

im trying to order these stuffs from US
anyone know how much will they tax me?
i did my research...
to play safe i added + 10% to the items
but i doubt it'l be dat cheap

i know computer parts are tax free
but i heard that water cooling parts are considered industrial grade already
so they do tax u for that
is this true?

Swiftech Apogee GT Universal Waterblock - 1/2" $47.99
Swiftech MCR-120 "Quiet Power" Series Radiator - Black $34.99
Swiftech MCB-120 "Radbox" Radiator/Fan Housing Rev. 2 - Black $17.99
Swiftech MCRES-MICRO Hi-Flo Reservoir $19.95
Total estimate = $120.92

May I know whether clothes are dutiable or subjected to Import Tax or Sales Tax in Malaysian custom? I am really confused the custom. Sometimes, get taxed. Sometimes, nope.

If you are sending overseas. No worries bout tax.
Things you should worry about
- Good packaging - prevent damage
- Theft


To be safe, add 20%
There is no standard for water cooling parts yet. Unless you are able to convince the custom officer, it is indeed for computer ONLY.


- Yes dutiable
- Rate depend on material
- If you are bringing in 5 pcs of different design, you can put it as for own use only.
- There are many exemption around, some up to officers themselves to judge. So it depends.

if i buy tweeter or speaker from usa then nid to pay any kastam tax??
