I want to take some of the parts out to replace my phone.

What actually approval needed from SIRIM? I went to SIRIM website and found there are 4 applications related communication and multimedia.
1. Type Approval - What is this for??
2. Registration of manufacturer/ assembler/ repair center/ call center - Definitely not this!
3. Import Permit - What is this for??
4. Special Approval - What is this for??

thanks.  icon_question.gif  biggrin.gif

U just go to Customs there , open the box and test the phone in front of the Customs to proof that the phone cannot function already and u tell them that phone u want to use as repair part . They may not ask u for the SIRIM

There's no tax for cameras, right?

Electronic Shipping Info Received, December 27, 2010
I don't understand the "Into foreign customs" twice. I called PosLaju and then the customs and I was told it's being held by the customs, but they cannot give me the exact details because "my documents haven't arrived" or something - according to the lady I was speaking to.

So...what do I do?
Seriously, USPS/PosLaju is terrible. I'll always opt to use FedEx from now on.

Camera should din have tax and u just wait it and u may received it on this few days .

HELP!!

I purchases a Wacom Intuos4 medium tablet ( computer tablet RM990+ ) from ebay which was shipped from Hong Kong at 19th Jan 2011 and have since reached Malaysia at 22th Jan 2011. My shipping method is "Hong Kong Air parcel" not DHL or other services. I have tracked the item many time and it has not shown any progress after "Pending Customs Inspection".

Does that means that it is stuck at the customs?

I am currently in Penang, thus my shipping address.

What do I need to do? pay taxes? is the item currently in Penang or I have to go to KL to claim it?
*
If ur address is in Penang and ur item taxed , they will send u a letter ask u to go to butterworth Customs there to declare or u may ask Pos Malaysia to help u but they will charge u for handling fee .

okay i have a question...i read and understand (properly)..tax only charge if value more than rm500..lets say i bought a camera accessory with value more than rm500...will be tax here? iirc the tariff code is 9002
*
The customs not just calculate the value of the item . They calculate that ur item with shipping fee is less than RM 500 then no tax . Camera accessories like lens is tax free
