Got question isit tax applicable for purchase item or all import item (which I dont buy it)

A friend send me handphone as a gift but now holded @ Custom KLIA, what should I do now ?,

advise needed

hi
my friend send me his used phone as gift, it was state clerl a gift for friends, Igot letter from pos PMK, from the letter mention Iv to get ;

x- invois pembekal atau lain2 keterangan mengenai nilai (I dont have it because im not buy it)
x- permohonan untuk kebenaran mengimport yg diluluskan (borang AP)

I was just WTF because Ive to pay the item I didnt bought, I dont have the invoice and Im not a reseller... this is BS

what happen if I didnt claim the item ? will they return back to sender to item just stuck there ?

Im not afford to pay for the sirim, I guess Ive to let the item back tu United States if they can return

waaaaa....

got any idea ?

I just get Sirim today and have to pay RM200 under terms of personal uses. Its very costly for non bussiness person like me, this is where the goverment hisap darah on tiny civilian where they letting certain vip can 'bypass' with mass import,

yeah, I pay RM200 for single PDA phone that would control nuclear launcher

ok
If the item was detained (in my case h/p), straight to Sirim Shah Alam, bring the detained statement/letter. Dont go LCC-PMK (Pejabat Mel & Kurier) because POS wont allow the item retreive out, I already look for 'nego' they wont bother. The Pos staff (in room2) tell me Iv no choices because my packages was opened even my friends write 'a GIFT for FRIENDS", and it was recorded.

Then I go to Sirim with komuter and stop at Shah Alam, I take cab to Sirim -Seksyen 2. Once get there lend your driving card to counter and proceed to Building no 9, thx to Security that point me the building. Geti inside building 9, take your Q' number, fill the form at the counter. They give me 2 form to fill up. Iv to pay RM200 firm and they give me receipt, and contact number with AP file number.

The process of AP is 24 hours, due Im late to get there my AP (arrive there 3pm) I have to call next day. So best is to get there early morning so they can accomplish soon as possible. There are no way to speed up the AP process because Sirim have to wait Customs respond for each transaction.

Next day, I need to call the contact to get the AP number, jot down the number and bring it to LCC-PMK to claim it. Due workdays Im not yet retrieve the item .

Its very troublesome, they should integrate Sirim and Customs in one building

For public transport users, you can take komuter and disembark @ Shah Alam station (trip around 30 min), taxi cost is RM5 one trip.

ya,
better acknowledge to your friends outside Malaysia before sending here 'GIFT' especially h/phone, because the'll open it.

oh one more to add, unclaim item is not refundable to sender and become hostage, what a suck d***

From the poslaju cover letter it notes . Please claim within 14 working days from date of this letter. If no claim is made, the items will be sent back to country origin), But, on the next attachment are from Custom, containt receiver address, detail with under "Urusan Seri Paduka Baginda" line. The notes below has a dateline to claim it.

Item will get dispute as "barang rampasan" after dateline.

I was WTF when I ask the POS malaysia Room2 and confirm it,

yes Ben, either used or damages, youve to pay the tax and sirim ap
