So, due to a miscomunication error, I've got a pretty huge box heading to me from Japan via EMS containing 2 figures and 2 books. Total value is around 20k JPY.

How much will I be taxed (It's huge and over 20k JPY, I have no hope of it passing Kastams safely) and how will I be contacted?

Help please ;A;

Well, how do they calculate the tax..? Since books aren't taxable, will they deduct the cost of the books and only tax the figures + shipping? (I hear it's 15%, but I checked their website and it said 10%..I'm confused now..)

Thanks in advance. biggrin.gif

Uhm...it'll be 10% charges for the total cost + postage fees if it exceeds RM500 if i'm not wrong though.

I see. Guess all I can do is pray that they didn't see my package lol.

Thank you!
