Totally no idea with the custom duty / sales tax for mobile phone, can anyone assist me on this? Checked custom tariff website type in "mobile phone", "handphone", "handset", "telefon bimbit" comes out nothing or not the one I'm looking for.

Help needed, thanks

Thanks for the answer, omg, import a mobile phone also hard, saw the mobile phone at amazon so cheap, if custom want to charge this charge that then I better don't buy, save those duty taxes.

you probably can, just make sure the item posted is mark as gift, as small as can.
and the documents thingy, provide sufficient information. sometime it'll go thru (based on my experience),

other than that, you can also minimize the hardwork if you appoint or ask amazon or the seller to send the item using DHL, FEDEX. got several item passed. they're good in handling custom documents. but not sure if it'll work on u.

and one more thing, you can also ask for other LYN-ers help that offering amazon/US based website ordering service. they can arranged it and get it delivered safely.

Hi corallinkz,

Thanks for the reply, i noticed your 2nd sentence, "got several item passed", means that even we use Fedex and mark the item as gift, it still have the chance get caught by custom? Mind to share your experience with me?

Thank you
