how about if we buy some electronic goods from overseas...example cd players, do they charge tax on it?

hi all, want some advice here

I just bought 3 vinyl records from Discogs (seller from Netherlands) & now in shipping status.
all item incl postage is under RM150
i do ask the seller to post the records as gift.

i read at the beginning of this thread, music/CD = 30%
wow madness! is it still valid?




last time i bought a soundcard from ebay with the help from a LYN forumer, the item arrived & i have to collect them at the post office in Pending, Kuching. so i met the kastam lady..since it was afternoon & looks like thse ladies in their lazy mood (luckily this kastam lady i'm dealing with is the same race as me...so we chit chat a little) while she instructed me to open the box...but my luck was at my side that time. she said just pretend to open the box to declare content....but actually i never opened it! so i lepas lah tongue.gif (not sure soundcard/computer parts is taxable or not)

thanks for the clarification

i have asked the sender to put it as gift & stated a very low price on the item.
hopefully it will come through...
