Hi,

I plan to import some ready to wear clothes from china to sell in Malaysia. May I know how much duty and tax I will have to pay? My supplier will ship using EMS.

Thanks ~

to explain in detail:
total item u bought: RM X
postage charge : RM Y
Tax = 1.2(X+Y)

then another 10 % sales tax is:
1.1* 1.2(X+Y) = 1.32 (X+Y)

Hi,

Many post said that "below RM500 no tax". Is this per item or per shipment??

Say if I buy a laptop for RM2000 and another taxable item that cost RM100 and they are shipped together? What will happen?

Thanks
*
laptop is not taxable. end of story.
"below RM500 no tax" refers to per taxable shipment.

Per taxable shipment or item within a shipment?

In my example, the shipment contains one item that's taxable and one that is not.
*
ok..sorry for the shortcut terms that i used, should be item within a shipment.
let say 3 out of 5 items is taxable, they'll tax u for the 3items only if the 3items value+shipping charge cost more than RM500.
