Hi,

I plan on purchasing cosmetics online from overseas. But may I know what is the limit of purchase/amount before it get taxed? I read somewhere saying not more than £50 and I am safe. Is it true?

Would like to know as I have purchased about total of 9 items and the total I have to pay is about £32. It reached me safely in less than 2 weeks after placing the order. It was my first successful overseas purchase.

I googled and came across this website : http://www.customs.gov.my/index.php/en/com...ry-po?showall=1

It says that cosmetics are under non-dutiable except face powder. But its a 2009 version, and I tried googling a 2012 version but no avail.

Anyone with experiences regarding my issue, please advice and would like to know before I delve into the business.

Thank you.
