For amazon, they will automatically have the tax and fees calculated and included if applied during the check out. Means, they will have it taken care of. You don't have to worry about it. Norammly, once your item value + postage >RM500, you will be asked to pay the tax to amazonin advance. You don't have to pay extra if they were underestimated the tax and fees.

Hi,
I bought a Wireless display reciever (Netgear PTV300 Push2TV) from amazon.com
It cost $59.99 (RM 190) + shipping $36 (RM110), so total RM300.
It is shipped under AmazonGlobal Priority Shipping (the only shipping available and quite expensive sweat.gif  ) which is known to use DHL

1. will I need to pay tax?
2. how much is taxed for electronic items? 10% of item price only or total(include shipping)?

The good thing about buying stuffs from amazon is they will advise if you need to pay tax on the checkout page. You just need to pay what has been show up during checkout. If attracted tax the time the order arrives, they will pay for you without any extra cost. BTW, shipping cost of $36 via dhl is very reasonable. It sounds like the volumetric weight is around 2kg. Cheers

If all these items arrived at kastam in different box (let say 4 boxes) and all adressed to a single address (which is mine), is kastam gonna acumulate all the prices (over RM1K amount) and slap me a tax?

Thanks in advance  smile.gif
