I'm planning on buying some clothes retails form overseas, 2 separate orders:

1 order will be from UK, total price ~RM 1400. Items are giftwrapped (FedEx)
1 order will be from UK, total price ~RM 450 (USPS -> Pos Msia I guess)

I realise I'll kena duty for the first order, but will I also kena for the 2nd? Is there any (legal-duh) way of reducing or avoiding duty?

Thomas Pink in UK, they offer free delivery & free gift wrapping... but only if order > GBP200.

Just got fax from FedEx (not expecting delivery so quickly) asking about the customs duty.... is there another section for it or am I stuck paying the full charge, which comes to about RM 400?

Yup. I dunno, first time I did it so that's why I'm a li'l confused. It'sjust shirts and ties & I'm not sure why it suddenly is 30%, should it be a different amount?

FedEx say that they will pay customs then I pay them when they deliver. Hard for me to get to LCCT as no car, but FedEx fax me a declaration form asking whether i want to (a) pay the duty as is, (b) whether the item should be declared under other class or © use an agent to clear the item.

I know clothes are supposed to be high tax, but 30% seems REALLY high, I'm wondering if anyone who knows the tariff codes can help me with (b)
