chances of getting taxed is low but they might withheld it if they go bonkers. next time, you could request the seller to declare the item as a "misc. computer accs."
bags i'm not too sure, but it should be taxable as it falls under the "fashion apparel" category but hey, tell you what, i've just received my seven pieces of printed round neck tees in a single shipment, customs ppl release it just like that. so, i guess, if you're buying just a bag, it should be ok, just make sure that the sender don't fancy sending stuff in the big fancy box
that is not correct, items that are taxable with the parcel value worth more than RM200 (excluding printed media eg. CDs, DVDs & BDs) have higher chances to get withheld at customs. they will not bother to hold items lower than RM200 value as the taxable amount is too low for them to earn moolah. Your luck depends on it too, keep your fingers crossed and make sure lady luck is smiling upon you if you order a whole lotta bunch of stuff in one shipment
