For bags how much is the tax & duties?

Is multitools consider prohibited items? I just google and found multitools is under Tariff No.: 82032000. So it can be import to Malaysia?

Please update TS post since the guide is not quite relevant anymore. Important things that i think are essential for buyer to know.. (i get this by googling and read some of member post)

Before you buy
1) Check if the item is prohibited. http://customs.gov.my/index.php/en/compone...ent/article/243
2) USUALLY below RM500 (including shipping and insurance) is not taxable
3) Try to get tariff code from the internet. One good website to search is http://tariff.e-to-china.com/
4) After you have the tariff check on the Royal Malaysian Customs for tax/duties impose at http://tariff.customs.gov.my/. Search by tariff code
5) ...... (add more)

If the item held by customs
1) You can assign an agent to pick up for you (eg Pos Malaysia)
2) You can go it by yourself and deal with the customs (i heard it will be a long process)


Or there are agents in Lowyat that provide service buying from overseas

2) http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1303309&hl=

Or you can use 3rd party service like http://www.vshub.com/

Some tips to our new buyer
1) Try to use shipment with tracking number to check if you items held by Malaysia customs
2) ....

Please update your successful bought items and tax(if any) for guidelines
1) ....
2) ....
