That I'm not sure, probably custom might ask you to declare under military items 
Depending on the materials, if it is made of textiles it could be 20% import duty and 10% sales tax. Good luck 

I know how

1) If your item really held by kastam, they will send you letter to fill in. There will be 3 choice to pick:
Pick by yourself
Pick by yourfriend (need IC and so on)
Ask agent to take for you (RM50 extra)

Fill the form and fax to the num given

My choice is "Pick up myself"
Why? For example the price for the item is USD1000
so you will be tax 20% and USD200 right?
if you ask the kastam to lower your value also no problem
last time i have to pay RM350+
but i ask to lower down the value of the tax to RM200.
They give me without asking so much.
So, my advice, go kastam and pick up.

ishh.....how i go to claim ! shit betul ni..hehe

If you don't want get taxed, don't declare high amount on the box. 2 psp, 1 DS, ipod, DVDs and cds I didnt get any tax declare $20 value and the box is so small customs will believe it is $20. And don't get smart tick gift on the box, the custom will said it is a gift call you go their office open in front of them. If merchandise they open themselves if kena tax.

ya i'm curious also why ticking as merchandise is better than gift?

i tell u lur , in my place at penang , seberang prai custom are strict ? ermm no i mean greedy . Even if u buy 1 cd USD15 oso they charge ler.

Only Human : yeah ....jap album here are very rare...oni that ayumi veli popular nia ...i like Aya Ueto voice very much so decided to buy her whole single and album but month by month ler =.=". Last month i oni tio tax...see b4 end of month of October i order Aya Ueto single album again...now i tio surat from custom liao...tomolow have to go collect.

And my Aya Ueto 2008 calender on the way ...i hope they dont charge for a calender ....ZzzZzZz......may god bless me tomolow.

For your info, ALL parcels(express,economy,etc) that come into malaysia will pass throught the customs. The customs will look on the declaration form of the parcel before deciding to tax it. If it is small item like psp, you put $20 on declaration, they let you pass without tax, if is big item like ps2, you put $20, they will still hold it at their office and call you to collect. If you use Fedex, UPS and other third party parcel service, they automatically clear it for you and forward to your house. If you use USPS(US), Royal Mail (UK), these are all standard mail service which will be handled by Pos Laju. If poslaju handles your item, chances are you have to phone them to forward or visit the customs office. A letter with these words " Urusan Yang Di-Pertuan Agong) will be printed on the letter and asking you to the customs office.

The only other way to run away from tax for big items is sending via stamps, but it will get lost or spoilt once it arrives.

er i wana get ori handsfree from UK ebay, darn cheap.... but they use ROYAL MAIL..... sure kena tax ar? here selling 100 for ori, there selling a few pound only....

Nowadays custom smart la, you declare low, but if inside got resit or invoice, then you gone la, they call you open then ask apasal lain harga. zzzz
the exemption thing, they no longer follow that rule, I bought 2 gundam Rm200 also they call me to go collect but you scare them then no tax la + free push cart service lol
