Buying/Importing Goods from Overseas, Custom Tax & Duties 
May 31 2013, 05:26 PM
1) They are not available in Malaysia
2) They are way cheaper, at about RM9/DVD
However, after include postage, for 20 DVDs, the estimate price is about RM360. And reading previous comments, even though the amount is less than RM500, but I would have to pay 10% for tax as it is for resell.
The question I want to ask is, is it legal to bring in DVD movies in that manner, because normally any distributed movies brought in to Malaysia will go through Malaysian Board of Censorship first before approved for selling here. These are just normal movies, but will it have any other problem (non-related with tax) at the custom's office?
Thanks.

Please read the whole thread. I have answered questions before, I did answer your question I already said China is not in ASEAN so it is not exempted from tax. And regarding dvds, read the first page, you answered the question earlier yourself including others who answered.
DVD-R or ANY computer products are not taxable. If you want to see how many people I have helped you should ask them, alot pmed me and msn me to ask questions.
DVD movies are taxed.
Finas is optional, go to your kastam and give them extra RM50 that will save you all the trouble.
If anyone is asking why the taxes are so high and stuff, it is there to protect the local manufacturers, not because the government wants to suck your money.
Anything with the kastams can be argued you just need to bring in someone powerful, you just need that powerful person to make a call thats all. If you know your local ADUN, MCA, UMNO you can tell them to help you. My friend imports bag from China tax free with some help.
I found more mistake on your side but I decided NOT to argue with you but if you want to continue so may it be.
But I am still not sure can bring any movie as long not the banned or x-rated.. Is there a guidline for this? Thanks..DVD-R or ANY computer products are not taxable. If you want to see how many people I have helped you should ask them, alot pmed me and msn me to ask questions.
