i also can't find it there. their search engine dont even work perfectly.

this is crap! they did not change the law since retro era. all the terms were made for cassete player or cds.

DVD can be play using computer also mah!

well i will try to expose it to the media if they try to be smart.

Disc (movie) 8524 32 000 - 0% + 10%

betul or not, why some forumers paid like 45% as they claimed?


Do they add the shipping cost to calculate the tax? rugi lah like that if they calculate based on the shipping .

they been talking about it.

thanks for the info. really appreciate.

My parcel just got clearance for DVD without tax . Cost less than RM 500.

If my next order is RM 5000 , i wonder what the tax will be? Will it be 10% as claimed or more this time?

If it got stuck is there a way to kow tim ?

i bought 3 dvd from yes asia.com and these are the details.


I
April Snow Another Story : Making of DVD + Photo Album
Failan Special Edition DTS
Secret Sunshine (DVD) (Limited Edition) (Korea Version)
Time (Give - Away Version)


Credit Total : USD 0.00
Sub-total : USD 67.97
Tax : USD 0.00

Order Total : USD 67.97

now in Kastam, just received letter by POS to become agent.
do u think these items are taxable?

Last time, my order get thru without tax at all.


Does Hong Kong Falls under ASEAN country. In wikipedia , china is and i assume Hong Kong is. If it is I think DVD tax is 0 % according to the AHTN Schedule 1.

(1) Subject to the provisions of the first Schedule, import duty shall be levied on, and paid by the importer, in
respect of goods specified in the Second Schedule, origination from ASEAN countries, at the CEPT rate of duty
specified in column (6) of the second Schedule, imported into Malaysia.

(2) Where a CEPT rate of duty is specified in column (6) of the Second Schedule in respect of a particular class
of goods, such rate shall be levied on and shall be paid by the importer in lieu of the corresponding full
import duty imposed as specified in column (4) of the Second Schedule in respect of goods of the class which
are shown to the satisfaction of the Director General to have originated from ASEAN countries.


HEY! WHY DO WE NEED TO PAY CUSTOM TAX somemore if the GOODS IMPORTED IN is in ASEAN Groups.

HAhah! LOL! there is no ASIAN Group, In Fact , china was included as ASEAN PLUS THREE but its only a forum that functions as a coordinator of cooperation between Association of Southeast Asian Nations and the three East Asian nations of China, Japan, and South Korea.

U mean ASIA. check your Georaphical Knowledge too.

Check out the Members included the 3 nation here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASEAN_Plus_Three

My mistake earlier, it seems that China is not included in this Tariff among the ASEAN countries except for a few. . see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASEAN_Free_Trade_Area

Added on December 26, 2007, 2:38 pmjust called the Kastam, 30% + 10% for DVD. Another lastest threat, All DVDs imported into Malaysia must have Finas approval or KDN apporoval.

Censoring is priority.

U said China is ASIAN. What a lame and confusing grammer. Might as well create Chinan, if that is really wat u mean?

Well, mr smart alec I have all the time to flame you. If u want to show your intelligence than get your attitude right first. the way u wrote earlier is flaming other people. i don't see other good contribution beside correcting my mistake. I do appreciate for highlighting the mistake but you should know that nobody force on you to correct people mistake.

maybe u can answer my other questions like whther DVD is taxable. In fact I already found the anwser my self without anyone help from here.

I just visited the Kastam website and it's not FREE anymore. See here on the latest Ruling http://www.customs.gov.my/html/ClasificationJuly2007.htm

if not go to http://www.customs.gov.my/index.php?option...temid=1&lang=en under CLASSIFICATION Decision Link

Those who still think that they can go to the Schedule 1 and fight with the Kastam for the right classification which is NO TAX, might as well rest your case now.

Linkeong, want to debate some more . Dont waste time. What is your experience on this , what else do u know and why u never post this answer earlier?????

This post has been edited by hackwire: Dec 26 2007, 11:05 PM

i just couldnt get the answer at all even in earlier post . many had given different opinions and experience. I hope you don't get me wrong, im not a tax evader just because the tax is that high. i rather pay the tax than begging to the officer or giving them RM 50 .

i rather buy lesser DVD in a month. I hope you can pin point my mistake but not to LOL or read up your Geograpry like that..yes, im a bit sensitive if u want to call it but i would appreciate if u can tell me where i gone wrong when the FACTS were already found in the KAstam Website.

I don't agree with your idea to pay RM 50 in the first place. This only cause the Dept tainted with money.

alright got the picture. i will be heading there tommorow and see wat will happen.

Added on December 28, 2007, 2:51 pmI reach Ground Zero around 10.15 at the Pos Office. Go to Pos Office Room
No 2 and the blue man gave me the letter which was supposed to sent by them informing me to bring an invoice or any other supported documents. They are Very smart, trying to hold this document from posting to us so that they can provide clearance service for us with add cost.

After that I was told to head to counter 1 to retrieve the parcel. Here they asked you to sign first to release the parcel and your pass been held. Box was Stamped - Di Bawah Tahanan Kastam. Parcel is still not open.

Proceed to Counter 2 to open the parcel and curiosity always make them ask what's inside. Told them it's DVD and quantity is 4. Very short conversation and told to proceed to counter 3 where a lady kastam will again screen the item . Same question, what is it? How many is it? Is it a Drama or Single DVD? Watch out here, they may want to find out more details now. I told them its single movie. Told me to Declare with Kementerian Dalam Negeri.

Go Back in to Room 2 and declare a Custom Form 1. Here the guy will ask you again, dalam apa. Give me a RM 18 paper for EDI wonder what the hell is EDI for, and told to pay at Counter 6.

At counter 6, I make the full payment and proceed back to ROOM 2. Than the idiot starts this stupid question, ada invoice ke. I feel like bashing him since they didn't sent the letter to me but a letter informing me to engage them as agent only. I said no and I gave him an estimation of RM 200. He said OK and walked back. A few minutes later, he came out and give me the Custom Form with filled information of the tax figure 30% + 10% together with the YesAsia.com invoice which he had it all the time. Damn !! I guess he must be disappointed to see DIY in place.

Here's the Best Part, Below the form there's a very UNIQUE Stamping or Hidden CODE that will give Exemption to this Goods , Below RM 500 is Exempted from Tax. Now who said is RM 1000 . I have the prove, later I will post the image. Total Cost is RM 0 even though you can see the amount of tax they calculated using 30% + 10% in the tax column.

I continue to go back to the Counter 3 and I asked her, less than RM 500 won't get tax is it? She Said Ya!..My heart was like...pumping 100 times faster than b4.

Now, I have to go to the Kementerian Dalam Negeri Office opposite the road which is about 1 KM away and the time now is about 11.30 am. 30minutes b4 they close for Prayers. My Strategy seems to work...I still have 2 offices to visit there before walking back to see this Lady Kastam again at Counter 3. Kind of National Secret Exploration now.

At Floor 2 ( KDN office), I declare again and straight away the friendly guy asked me if this is Porn kah!!! I said bukan lah, kalau porn sure kena sekat by you. Than he asked me , Kenapa Sudah Buka, I told him the Kastam there asked to open. He gave me the Duck Tape and asked to Seal it back again. I asked him what time is your Prayer, he said very soon. He called me Boss ( I wonder why he said that), boleh tolong saya isi ke...h. I said no problem. I knew time is running out for them and they quickly gave back to me and asked me to go to Floor 6 to do the same thing.

At the 6th Floor, two ladies sitting there, One of them took my DVD and show to Puan Yip which was the Head of Chinese Entertainment Materials. Another Girl will register in her PC for the Custom Form and I fill up the registration book. I have 15 minutes left to go back to the Pos Office where I came from. The girl came out and told me to go to Floor 2 to let the guy downstairs screen my movie...I was like Huh!! Again!!... Than she turn the Form and saw a stamped LEPAS!! by the GUYS in Second Floor. Oh!! U sudah pergi!!! I said ya, Tadi sudah Check! I love those second floor Guys...( By the way, if they want to see the movie at their own sweet time there , u still have to let them. I saw they have TV and Players there to screen the movies.)

Run Back to the Pos Office and the Guard stopped me n said apa dalam. DVD Encik.. Apa DVD? Korea. Saya pergi sebelah sana to get release. You Jalan kah!! I said Yes. Guard said Cepat!! Cepat!! Lagi 10 minute mau tutup. Went back there and luckily no queue at the Counter 3 but I start to see CROWS ( Forwarders Agents start to swarm in at the Counter) , these people knew the loopholes I guess. From there, HomeRUn!! All the Custom Form Stamped One By One by her without any further questions asked.

Went to collect my pass and said Bye to the Guard.

Damage: RM 18 to Declare , RM 15 Petrol and Tol Rate.
1 and a Half Hour Salary Rate Gone.

Benefits: You know what to do next time.
