Just wonder what is the correct term to be used to check out the tax information on http://tariff.customs.gov.my/ for books (fiction and non-fiction)?

I used "book", "novel", "publication" and even "buku", but the result was irrelevant. The only one that I thought quite matches the condition is "-In book form", which the code is 490591000. Is this the correct one?

Thanks in advance.

4901 isn't a complete code, only the header

You should be using the Malaysian tariff website  :

Oops...should be more specific, sorry. I got the same result as what you've shown, and glad that books are tax free no matter how many copies I buy. rclxms.gif
