guys,

hs code 8526 Radar Apparatus, Radio Navigational Aid Apparatus and Radio Remote Control Apparatus
on the kastam website ---> 852691000 ---> Nil import tax but got prohibited [Y] (wut this means??)

if you declare that low, then insurance also cannot cover 100%. If anything happens... matila. And how do u declare 30usd for let say plasma tv, the custom wont ask question or anything?

AFAIK, most of electronics are charged ~10% import tax but the final price is negotiable if u use for private purpose (non-commercial) even exempted if less than 100 USD last time i heard. So declare the custom value less than 100USD but make sure to get insurance for that amount. If not mistaken USPS international economy can be insured for 100usd max.

am not sure about 100usd max, pls do your own research... some say rm1000... i'm confused myself
