Hi guys, while reading this thread i keep getting scared and nervous cause i order yaoi manga from ebay and when i checked its still " In custom"
and then i checked again its say 'Departure from inward office of exchange"
does that mean it just released ?

I'm living in Langkawi, so does that mean customs will checked again or Pos malaysia can send to me directly?

Should be no problem dear. I've bought yaoi from ebay and amazon dozens of time so got no problem. Unless you purchased over RM500 then they will held your parcel and ask you to clear it with the customs' office in LCCT. If your parcel is less than RM500 it will go to post malaysia after passing through customs.You should get in within a week.

Thats good then
Lucky its below RM200 including shipping, What about KDN?, when did they checked our item? because i read somewhere that yaoi had been banned

Yes...but good thing Customs abit lazy. If they are so strict every book will need to get clearance from KDN as well. What the customs do now as long your parcel not big heavy and exceed RM500 they will let go.

If thats the case then i think, i shouldn't worry too much
can't wait to see my Asami & Akihito in real i mean not in front of my pc
Thanks svage98

just to share with everyone on what i've learnt last weekend when i imported a Honeywell 50250 Air Purifier from the US...

according the Custom Import Prohibition Rules, all imported electrical appliances for own personal use (ie. 1 unit only) requires a letter of release issued by Suruhanjaya Tenaga (ST) where you need to go their office at Menara TH (Jln Sultan Ismail) fill up a form called Borang ST(PE)4 in 3 copies and get it sign....

hence, previous postings about getting Sirim Approval is incorrect as electrical appliances are non-regulated items where only communication devices / appartatus such as handphones, radio ham, walkie talkies, GPS Device, etc. would require SIRIM approval which is actually an AP...

once you get the required ST form signed, then you can proceed to claim the detained parcel at Customs Office....

if you are going to PMK KLIA, first you have to go Pos M'sia window counter and get some documents before proceeding to Room 2 (Bilik 2) which is Pos M'sia Unit Perkastaman (Custom Liaison Dept) where Pos M'sia Staffs will handover your Foreign Seller Shipping Doc's where you will then go over to the window counter to take your parcel and opened at at Custom Service Counter 5 for inspection....

there at Counter 5, you would have to show your total purchase price plus shipping costs where once agreeable by the Customs Office, ie. no underdeclaration, you would then would have to go back to Room 2 and handover the parcel invoice / receipts / purchase bill where the Pos M'sia Staffs would then prepare a Customs document stating the tax payable where you also would have to pay RM18 to Pos M'sia as documentation fee...

finally, walk over to Counter 2 to make your payment and reclaim your entry pass which was surrendered earlier at the Pos M'sia window counter and your parcel left at Counter 5....

for my case, the Customs did not request for the ST release letter which i believe the Customs Offices do now want to be seen hard on us whom may not know on the procedure of importing an electrical appliance for own personal use...

moral of the story - it is very worthwhile now to import an electrical appliance if its market price is twice as much lower in comparison to M'sia which is worth your every effort....

good luck and happy importing...

Hey i will be buying a set of wireless mic for my intsrument from ebay costing usd 330. Is this taxable?
or it falls under non taxable item

I bought GPS Device from China and was held by Custom. UPS called me up and sent me a bill to ask me to talk to SIRIM on the inspection.

Now I have to pay extra RM170 for this

apparently, there are some postings in this forum which claims that any declared imported item not exceeding RM500 is not subjected to tax but i remember seeing a sign at the Customs office which states that only parcels not exceeding RM200 (inclusive of postage costs) is not taxable....

hence, on the safe side, it is best to deliver valuables above RM200 via registered mail (ie. with tracking service) so that you would be aware of it being detained by Customs upon arrival at KLIA...

i wan import Rm4.5k laptop, tax free o not? i got so many diff opinions
