no...under the law, only electrical appliances powered by AC 240V is required to apply for the import permit but like i said in my earlier posting, the Customs Officer would waive this rule whereby they are only interested in collecting the import duties...

you probably can, just make sure the item posted is mark as gift, as small as can.
and the documents thingy, provide sufficient information. sometime it'll go thru (based on my experience),

other than that, you can also minimize the hardwork if you appoint or ask amazon or the seller to send the item using DHL, FEDEX. got several item passed. they're good in handling custom documents. but not sure if it'll work on u.

and one more thing, you can also ask for other LYN-ers help that offering amazon/US based website ordering service. they can arranged it and get it delivered safely.
