hye, i've bought 10pcs wired earphone, and i have total invoice of usd90 including shipping. and today i got a call from pos malaysia said my item was held at kastam.. do my item will kena tax?

alright cool. to bad today is public holiday, need to go on lunch time tomorrow...

and 1 more thing is item more than rm300 or rm500 will kene tax? in my case im gonna bring in more earphone on next batch might be around rm480 incuding shipping.

aight, then i will kawtim with the seller to give me invoice that will be less than rm300

yup setel yesterday. no tax (below rm500) at first the custom cannot trust my declare value because it's too cheap compare to the retail price found on the internet (they surf the net to check the price). but then i show them the print screen of my transaction, then he believe.

as long you bring the print screen of the transaction (online), all will be ok.


one more thing, is the pos/kastam open on saturday? coz i work on the weekdays, and dont have much time to go there every week. huhuh

Added on February 17, 2011, 4:47 pmi got 1 more situation, i have package sent from china using DHL, the price i bought is 4x cheaper that retail price (regular customer). currently i dont know if the seller put the actual value or not on the package, because before this the seller just use ems and just declare as gift.

so the problem is, what if the seller not put/declare the real value on the DHL package, will DHL pay for the tax by retail price or they will contact me first?

u should receive a letter/call from pos regarding ur item being held by custom or u can directly go there if u know the reference number. or maybe u can call kastam/pos klia to know bout ur item.

if u already have the reference number, then just go to the pos malaysia lcct to claim ur item la why wait? lol, they will ask ur reference number tho... then u have to open the package infront of the kastam officer to show what's inside.

usd300 > rm500 sure kena...

try check at tariff.customs.gov.my

mobile phone case should be no tax, u can just go to kastam ask them why? sometimes they just want to know wat's inside because ur box is big and heavy maybe and also if the box dont have any declaration, kastam always tahan that, mine always kene, but I just go there and open infornt of the officer, show the invoice, setel. no worry, just go there and ask them. if they want to tax u, then ask them to show under what tariff code.

easier, u just go to the kastam... and clarify to them what actually u are bring in. dont worry, the kastam officers r friendly, from my experience la. just open the box infront of them (eventhou they already open it) and tell them wat's inside and show them how do u use it. that's it. if u j ust contact them tru phone, fax, i think it lotsa difficult to both party to understand.

headphone got 10% sales tax + 5% import duty, this is last time what i've been paid for my earphone worth more than rm500. but now im just using DHL, until now (3 shipments edi) no kena tax

fyi, it's bad to buy item and using mail that doesnt have tracking number.... there's a lot of ppl got conned for that.. waiting for 1 month no parcel arrived, what actual happen is the seller does not ship the item at all.

Added on March 2, 2011, 3:06 pmyup, u have to go to PPL (pusat pos laju) in Ipoh to get your item, or might need to pay for tax depends on the value ... dont forget bring your invoice too , if bought online, just print screen the transaction page or any proof of payment.

or if u malas, just call pos laju to be your agent, they will charge you rm49.50 exclude the tax.

always same case as mine, my supplier also always stated less than actual price...

Just show the kastam your actually invoice, below rm500 no tax. dont worry. unless it is above rm500 than u can create ur own invoice

hye, if i bought in mp3 player, is it taxable and need any kelulusan?
