anyone got the tariff/hs codes for headphones and earphones?

dont get to complicated.. just declare it as watch... make your life simple..

Do I need to pay tax for a 1 unit of zippo lighter?

Hope somebody can help me.

I'm sick of living in fear of being robbed again and since I now live 2hours away from my parents house, I bought a fingerprint door lock to make sure my house door is always locked without excuses "forgot key la" or "yr father/mother always forget key" ever happening again...

I bought this fingerprint door lock from a seller in Korea and had it shipped here. I work in a free trade zone area so i thought if i addressed the item to me at my factory, it wouldnt get blocked at customs but since my luck is super ugly, it got blocked at Johor pos laju customs and i received the poslaju notification to go and collect the item. I called the customs office there and tried explaining that the destination address is a free trade zone and the customs officer asked me if it was personal or for company use....i freaked and said it was personal. so i'm planning to go and collect it this thursday but the problem is...the item is considered a door lock and at customs site, this is supposed to be 25%/ 10% taxed...i bought this item at USD280! i'm not willing to pay close to RM550 just for taxes...and i've been told i need to go to Sirim to get clearance and all those damn bluetape...I'm no rich guy and had to save like crazy to buy this lock for my parent's sake

I thought of going there with an invoice at usd85 and asking for leniency as i only bought 1 and it is not for resale...

I'd appreciate any advise on getting this cleared with minimal hassle and taxes....

ymtong...yah...when i called the customs office and was transferred to the customs officer, he did ask me how was the transfer made and i said bank transfer. i dont think there is a way to cheat the actual purchase price unless i make a deal with the supplier to transfer usd85 and then he return the transfer back to me which would just be a waste of banking fees.

laptab...anyway for me to check about sirim approvals? this items has electronics but runs off 4 AA batteries...

has anybody had experience with tax reduction methods?

Should I wait for some more days or 100% need to pay already ? 
(The item is exceed RM500 but marked as gift)

Want to ask if tax toys and figurines is 5% or 10%. Thanks in advance.

Can I know how a Nintendo 3DS tax charged ?
I think it is charged under code 950450000 so I need to pay total 20% of the tax ?
And did I need SIRIM approval for it ?

laptab, where do u refer to the codes and percentage charged? can i have the link to the doc? ive tried to search in kastam website but link was dead or something. thanking in advance.

Hi Laptap,

A few question regarding taxes.
I'm using the dutycal website as you suggested and get this result:

http://www.dutycalculator.com/new-import-d...ails/185123283/

1. Is that everything under RM500 would not be charged for tax/duty?
2. If the shipment is over RM500, and kastam wants to apply duty/tax, would my courier settle the bill first and charge me for the extra fees when they deliver?
3. Or the kastam will straight hold the item and I need to travel down to their office to get the shipment?
4. If a shipment to an address but the items are separated into 2 invoices, each RM400, would that make the exemption for the tax/duty?

Thank you.

Hi, it me again.
can I import commemorative coin/notes? If yes, use which courier services that can allow?

Hi Laptab,

Thanks for your quick reply.
What do you mean by prepare the tax?
How do we pay the tax even before the kastam tax us?

Just sent an email to Kastam to get exact amount of tax of the toy lightsaber that I want to buy was told it was 10% of sales tax. But then I was informed that I need to check with KPDNKK for Certificate of Conformance since it was a toy.

Anyone have problem buying toys from oversea and need to get this Certificate of Conformance?

I don't want to be spending more than Rm1200 and then my toy cannot be claim from custom due to problem with Certificate of Conformance.

hi, mind i ask which shipping method u use? EMS? and if mine korean skincare products are under 4kg and costs USD200++, will they tahan my parcel too? but the problem is i can't go so far to KLIA for taking back my parcel if my parcel stuck at custom. i don't know can i use EMS or not seems that my supplier told me EMS fees are free for purchase more than USD200.
