QUOTE(RzaX @ Jun 23 2010, 11:44 AM) I think this is because they are by law they have to declare the goods they are sending (Usually companies/stores have to do this). Another thing is for the insurance claim. Correct me if I'm wrong Sorry, i dont quite understand what u mean in 1st sentence..  does 2nd sentence means if item is declared asgift, and if it gets lost /damaged, no insurance claim will be entertained? thank you |

QUOTE(SPYiNG @ Dec 31 2012, 12:04 PM) Hi, I want to buy this item from ebay. A vacuum insulated stainless steel water bottle. Do I need to pay tax for this? If you buy thru spreers, you dont need to worry about customs.http://www.ebay.com/itm/321008367886 I used the www.dutycalculator.com and it said that there's a 15% import duty rate & 10% VAT (classified under 'stainless steel flasks'). But I couldn't find the info in tariff.customs.gov.my.... Can anyone enlighten me on this matter? Thanks  S far, Ive never been asked t pay custom duties or even be bothered with any custom issues. Its better to buy this way-no hassle, no stress |
