Hi, I want to buy this item from ebay. A vacuum insulated stainless steel water bottle. Do I need to pay tax for this?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/321008367886

I used the www.dutycalculator.com and it said that there's a 15% import duty rate & 10% VAT (classified under 'stainless steel flasks'). But I couldn't find the info in tariff.customs.gov.my....

Can anyone enlighten me on this matter? Thanks smile.gif

If you buy thru spreers, you dont need to worry about customs.
S far, Ive never been asked t pay custom duties or even be bothered with any custom issues.
Its better to buy this way-no hassle, no stress
