If I buy PS3 from Singapore, does the 10% tax apply when I bring in to Malaysia?

my shipment arrived today. UPS cleared it and paid my tax of about rm400 (total value is about rm1200).
i complained and said that they never ask me for approval.
then the guy said i should talk to his supervisor who will call me tmr cos he went back already.

any tips / ideas / suggestions to how i can avoid or at least lower the tax? maybe personal usage or something like that?

hi all if buy book form US . kena tax ka ??? tqtq

this topic has been discussed many times in this thread. please read up first next time to avoid repeating questions.

books are not taxable

Yes, no matter your rings or necklaces are from Taiwan, China, Korea or other countries. If you buy in bulk, the possibility (kena tax) is high.

However, it is really depend on your luck.

Anyone experienced in importing guitars in yet ? Would really like to know of the experience.

You put the ps3 on your bag or something? Don't put it into the box(high possibility you need to keep the box somewhere or throw them away), and if they do caught you, say that it's a used item / bringing it back to malaysia, you shouldn't get imposed on tax.

hi bbjslee, does this apply to any goods? even if the goods need permits, such as a USB wall charger that plugs into a 240Vac wall socket which needs SIRIM cert/permit?

Thanks.

I'm thinking to purchase camera items online.
so it's not taxable no matter how high the value is right?

For Repair / Warranty Unit, B4 sending u need to declare to custom 1st with serial number stated and your own proforma invoice and state "item for repair, no commercial value". I not remember what custom form it is.

Once the item arrive, u need to submit again the form for declaration for verify if it same item.
The Serial Number Must same , unless item are replace 1 to 1.

Normally repair unit/warranty purpose dont have tax, unless u dont declare b4 sending.
