This is the breakdown of details of my purchases le.. it's less than RM 500, but dunno why they charge me 10% duty (as per written in that receipt).. they randomly add some figures then take 10% off from it..

later if i can, after my class, i go take picture of the receipts and attach here..

Erk... like that ah?

Last March, I bought 2 music CDs (both albums) thru CDJapan, but shipped them using EMS.

No tax. So does that mean if EMS no tax imposed? Since EMS will be delivered by Pos Malaysia?

Seems like this is what happened for my case. any way to avoid getting charged that kos tambang dagangan? cause if they charge like that, very very easy to get tax.. cause the kos tambang dagangan minimum edi RM 322.. means my package + shipping cannot exceed RM 178.. -.-
FedEx.. why?

Never have such problem with dhl so far. Didn't you have included the FedEx cost on the shipment paper works? If not, the customs would calculate it based on the mentioned rate which is very high. Cheers

Well good luck to me. I'm gonna post my experience later once my order arrived. CHEERS

i not sure wor.. the receipt in my car. later i check. very hard to read cause they using some cheap paper (60gsm i think) and the printed ink is kinda faded like that wan.. no column labeling.. only see numbers.. -.-

i forgot fedex got list out the shipping cost or not.. but my shipping fee edi 2100 yen.. which is like RM 70 liao..

if i split my parcels, my shipping fee going to kill me before the custom duties.. i might as well bundle till big big and let them take 10% off my purchase.. cause i should be purchasing again in another month or 2.. huhuhu

falsifying declaration is an offence... do not do it.. i suggest you amend your post.. you might get us all in trouble next time with our private small imports

they should have called you before you accept the charges.. did they?

haiz.. i have another purchase coming in..

i really dun get that system la~~~

why my first purchase (RM200~), if add that kos tambang dagangan (RM 322), it should exceed RM 500, yet they didn't tax me..

but 2nd and 3rd purchase (RM 330~), they add that kos tambang dagangan, then total amount to RM 650~, then they tax me RM 65~.

so inconsistent..

and now i got another purchase coming in at RM 680~ how will they calculate the tax this time?

somemore fedex de shipping is attached with the parcel.. how they calculate wan~~ so lost..
