Hi there,


I wanted to buy a handphone and shipped to Malaysia from UK. The person in UK mention that he will be using express mail service (ems) to malaysia. Will the handphone kena tahan and need to pay tax?. If need to pay tax, how much?. The price of the handphone is around USD300. Could anyone help to answer this.

Thanks
azihas

That is what my friend told me. He will wrap the hp and make it look like a gift. But dunno whether custom will notice it or not?. From my reading at this forum, it looks like a lot of hassle to bring in hp from oversea. Now I'm wondering whether to go ahead with it or not?.
