So...if buy anything and the price + postage total up is less than RM500 won't get taxed? or clothes will be taxed no matter it exceeds or under RM500?

So, due to a miscomunication error, I've got a pretty huge box heading to me from Japan via EMS containing 2 figures and 2 books. Total value is around 20k JPY.

How much will I be taxed (It's huge and over 20k JPY, I have no hope of it passing Kastams safely) and how will I be contacted?

Help please ;A;

It's over RM500 and you'll most probably be taxed hmm.gif There will be a letter delivered to your house informing you about it though.

Well, how do they calculate the tax..? Since books aren't taxable, will they deduct the cost of the books and only tax the figures + shipping? (I hear it's 15%, but I checked their website and it said 10%..I'm confused now..)

Thanks in advance. biggrin.gif

Uhm...it'll be 10% charges for the total cost + postage fees if it exceeds RM500 if i'm not wrong though.
