Dang! Sorry the seanlimys post was me, he forget logout from my pc. If you tick gift, you cannot use forwarding, that means you need to visit the kastams, if you tick merchandise, you can use forwarding, they send the item to your house and collect the money on the spot provided you phone them for the forwarding.

If you bribe the customs and provided you not in KL or selangor customs, then you can pass without sirim. If you use Fedex, UPS etc will kena sirim

For your info, ALL parcels(express,economy,etc) that come into malaysia will pass throught the customs. The customs will look on the declaration form of the parcel before deciding to tax it. If it is small item like psp, you put $20 on declaration, they let you pass without tax, if is big item like ps2, you put $20, they will still hold it at their office and call you to collect. If you use Fedex, UPS and other third party parcel service, they automatically clear it for you and forward to your house. If you use USPS(US), Royal Mail (UK), these are all standard mail service which will be handled by Pos Laju. If poslaju handles your item, chances are you have to phone them to forward or visit the customs office. A letter with these words " Urusan Yang Di-Pertuan Agong) will be printed on the letter and asking you to the customs office.

The only other way to run away from tax for big items is sending via stamps, but it will get lost or spoilt once it arrives.

Nowadays custom smart la, you declare low, but if inside got resit or invoice, then you gone la, they call you open then ask apasal lain harga. zzzz
the exemption thing, they no longer follow that rule, I bought 2 gundam Rm200 also they call me to go collect but you scare them then no tax la + free push cart service lol

Seberang prai is shitty custom cincai tax 1. YOu need rasuah them then they habis cerita RM50 only not very hard.

Clearance delay is stuck at customs . Be ready they will phone you.

TO scare them, bring any influential friend (anak datuk ke, pegawai apa ke) then introduce la said this guy know this who that who later you will phone who to confirm this 1 the tax how much. My father just said he worked as Manager at Felda Pahang then settled they got scared and said oo tarak tax nak tolong tolak the kereta ke? I was like LOL

LOL Since when China is ASEAN group. China is ASIAN. FYI, ASEAN consists of 10 countries, please read up geography.

Cambodia
Burma
Thailand
Indonesia
Malaysia
Philippines
Singapore
Laos
Brunei
Vietnam

FYI I did not say ASIAN group. A member of anything is added -an suffix at the end. Malaysia people called Malaysian, singapore called singaporean. ASEAN + Three that 3 is not ASEAN. Tax free only if true ASEAN. This is a help area not flame area if you want to play flame I can flame all you want.

Please read the whole thread. I have answered questions before, I did answer your question I already said China is not in ASEAN so it is not exempted from tax. And regarding dvds, read the first page, you answered the question earlier yourself including others who answered.

DVD-R or ANY computer products are not taxable. If you want to see how many people I have helped you should ask them, alot pmed me and msn me to ask questions.

DVD movies are taxed.

Finas is optional, go to your kastam and give them extra RM50 that will save you all the trouble.

If anyone is asking why the taxes are so high and stuff, it is there to protect the local manufacturers, not because the government wants to suck your money.

Anything with the kastams can be argued you just need to bring in someone powerful, you just need that powerful person to make a call thats all. If you know your local ADUN, MCA, UMNO you can tell them to help you. My friend imports bag from China tax free with some help.

I found more mistake on your side but I decided NOT to argue with you but if you want to continue so may it be.

I am not telling you to evade tax, just to bypass Finas. Finas will take long time and if unapproved your dvds may be seized(they can make up various reasons) just like electronics may require sirim. Pay your tax and rm50 you are good to go. An example is the butterworth kastam, they refuse to even type the clearance form and process anything for you until you try to pay them extra, I was not there once but many times until I got fed up with them. They are not even doing their work, they are walking around chatting , eating, spinning their pens and some even wear slippers (selipar jepun). The officer will start opening thick books and try to scare you saying this and that and they won't let you argue what you have read, they are only scared of someone with higher authority than them or can guarantee them extra income. If you still refuse to pay they will say tunggu and make you wait then after waiting they will tell you hari ini sangat sibuk, datang esoklah. The department is tainted no matter how, most officers got into this department in the first place because of money.
