Hi there, I might plan to get something from Hong Kong, so I'd like to ask bout the possibility of custom tax?

The item is a toy action figure (around 30cm in height), less than RM100. From what I've read here so far, toys/action figure will not be taxable?

How many qty you are planning to bring in?
Toys/action figure are subjected to 5% import duty & 10% sales tax.
How are you bringing it it?

There's an exemption clause:
(i) that the goods are imported by any person using air courier service through the following international airports - (a) kuala lumpur international airport, using sepang air cargo express; (b) bayan lepas (penang); © senai (johore bahru); (d) kota kinabalu; (e) kuching; and (f) subang;
(ii) that the goods imported are of a total value not exceeding rm500.00 per consignment CIF

With that clause you won't need to pay any duy & tax.
Forgotten to add: excluding cigarettes, tobacco and intoxicating liquor.

Hi, just another question here, in the event where the item is being held by the customs, will they be notifying us, and how? (if we don't have any tracking info of the shipment). Would labeling the item as 'gift' has any difference in regards to tax?

Hullo there, does anyone knows if getting stuff like tactical scope/red dot sight for paintball from overseas is allowed by the custom?
For example;

Based on my previous experience in buying tons of MTG cards from ebay (I assumed yours are something similar), no, I don't think you'll be taxed for them nor do you need to fill up any declaration. They will reach you, just wait.
