Hi guys. I recently ordered a PS3 video game via play-asia and using FedEx. The total cost for everything including shipping is RM 287, and the item weight is 0.2kg.

I heard that I will have to pay tax if using FedEx, and have read some of the previous pages. Is there a chance that I will still be taxed because my item's value may exceed RM 500? If it's possible, can someone help me estimate the total value of the item?

Thanks.

Yes I have the invoice. But I also read this about the new tax system...

It seems they add RM 322.15 to the value of every item under 6.4kg?

My shipping charge is 9 USD which is about RM 29. Altogether with the game the item is worth RM 287.

The Kos Tambang Dagangan apparently quite new and only affects courier services like FedEX. I read that to be safe, the item has to have a total price of RM 178 or below, but I didn't know about this until I looked it up.

Anyway package is only a single game and scheduled to arrive tomorrow, so we will see.

Ya, best to prepare that much just in case. I heard that some people didn't get the tax with items that are valued below RM 300 without the Kos Tambang Dagangan, but I don't want to risk it.

Thanks.
