Anyone have any idea on who would be contacting you if your items are tahan by custom? Im receiving goods from oversea, it is a standard mail most probably will behandled by posmalaysia. So , who will contact you if the items are tahan by custom?

HI All,
I have a problem here. I bought some clothes from India. And the value written in the invoice was USD60 and the weight was 7KG.
Custom officer in charge has declared the goods as undervalue and he put the vale as RM2160, and i was asked to pay tax RM216. The actual case, the value was only RM1++. IN this case, i am over taxed.

And in fact one item went missing. And after numerous calls and email FEDEX, agreed to refund for a claim. The problem is, would i be able to claim for the invoice value only? That means per items would be USD2 only.

And, how am i suppose to work for the tax. I would like to write to them that i am being over taxed. Is that possible?
What should i do on this?

Thanks everyone

Hi All,
Thanks for the feedback. Will be prepared the next time.

BUT, now i am facing another problem. ITEMS MISSING from my two shipment. Two dresses were missing. How do i claim about this? Cos, the invoice were lowered due to avoid tax, but now when the items missing, How should i claim about it? Do i haven to claim at invoice prices or the actual price. Please help me on this. Thanks everyone

Hello, I'm very exasperated right now. I've bought an LED monitor from South Korea and having it shipped through Fedex. They said that because it is an LED monitor, they are charging me under TV instead and that would cost me 25% + 10% tax.

The HS code is 8528.59 000

Shouldn't it be under computer monitor instead? And that wouldn't have any tax on it either right?

i ordered some vitamin supplement from bodybuilding.com and i was told by the seller i used to buy from that malaysia customs block this type of goods and i just burned my money. it was shipped using dhl. can anyone tell me if this is true?  thanks!

For example : 3 smartphones (RM1200 in total) + Sirim sticker(RM250) = RM1450??

I just bought an iPad 3 from amazon US. Will i kena tangkap

I have been thinking of buying DVDs from Amazon or eBay for myself. Is there anything I need to know before doing this?

Yes, I've thought about calling them before; real life intervene a lot of times to the point of me forgetting about the parcel until recently. The thing is I wasn't given any tracking number for the parcel, only shipping number. How do I bring the subject matter to their attention without any tracking number?
