Hi.

Read this really informative thread while getting more and more anxious as the pages go by.

I've bought 30 pieces of apparels, cost me almost USD300 inclusive of shipping and everything. How much would the tax be? Checked the customs website but couldn't get hold of the list la.

Man, I really hope it won't kena tahan at customs lo. If not, I really no more money to pay for those items First time buying from US and it kinda slipped my mind on the customs part. Sigh. Sure kena tahan coz the box will be big.

Sigh!

Someone help me!

My items took 5 days to arrive on the shores of Malaysia from US using Priority Mail. Got detained at customs (not surprising now, since I saw some of the laws written in their website) and got taxed. I think we have to obey the system, if we need to pay. Pay.

Took me 30 mins to deal with the customs. Quite efficient la to me, as contrary to what people say here. Unless, the officers you are dealing with really suck...

Mine was all in too. Except one of the officers kept asking me "semua baju ke?" until I just took out everything from the box (all 30 of them!) and show it to him. "Nah! Semua baju!" LOL

Oh wells.

My clothes costs around USD295 (including shipping) and the tax comes up to about RM310.00. I think it's pretty reasonable though it has burned a hole in my pocket

No more CNY celebration for me. lol.

Note to all, just pay the duty+taxes. No need to try to avoid the law. ><"
