Is it taxable if we bring in toys/collectible toys from oversea?

thanks

thanks for the info bro

Hi owikh84, the charges of RM215 for AP, is it fix? Normally how Sirim calculate the AP charges?

Coz, I just bought a PDA phone from oversea and sending in by courier, it was hold back by custom and was told to get the AP.

I paid RM350 for the AP and processing charges of RM18. I wonder why my AP charges so high as compare to what u mentioned? Or I have been chop kau kau by Sirim

I bought some watches from www.tokyoflash.com last year and I rcv the item within 7 days without paying tax and the AP from Sirim. Not sure it is becoz of my luck or what.

Wow, seems like they do not have a standard charges, me worst I paid RM350 for my PDA phone, but without tax. I rather pay the tax then paying additional RM150. Coz if I am not mistaken, tax is only 10% rite?

Damn was chop kau kau by them.....

I bought PDA phone from HK few months back, and was hold back by custom and was told to apply the AP from Sirim.

Went to Sirim and filled up a form and paid RM350/= for the AP. It is very simple, they will give u a sample form as reference, u just follow the sample to fill up the application form. The following day, I called up Sirim and inform them my file no and over the phone they give me my AP no and with that AP number, I went to custom to clear the item. And settle everything without any problem.

Initially I though they will require the device for testing or what, but surprisingly no one request the device from me during my present at Sirim office and also when I called up for the AP no.

BUT, roughly one month after I cleareed the item and are happily using it, I rcv a letter from Sirim saying that my application still pending due to I did not submit the device for testing...

I wonder why I rcv this letter from Sirim, and if really the procedure that Sirim require the device for testing before approving and issuing the AP, then why in the first place they approved it and issued the AP to me without testing the device weird weird weird .... or maybe that is what we call Malaysia Boleh

Anyway, just to share my experience...

No lah, didn't bother to send, coz item already cleared and used for months already...

Anyway, am not sure is the fee is fix at RM350/= or not, coz I did asked the custom officer before I went to Sirim, according to the custom officer I need to pay RM250/=. But the Sirim officer asked to pay RM350/=, then I asked him how come so expensive, not RM250/= ? And he replied "Kalau buat business lagi mahal". Then I just keep quiet and pay lor, what to do.

Ok here is the link to Sirim branches for your reference.

Good luck
