QUOTE(WhatMan @ Apr 27 2022, 09:21 PM) I'm planning to order some food spices not supplements, total price below RM 100. if it was to be delivered to an address in Peninsular then it should be alright. Will there be any problem with the customs / tax?  U just need to select Skynet as the courier. |

QUOTE(starry-starry @ Feb 11 2022, 12:30 AM) Well, it's the URL I make my purchase though. My last order passed thru custom in 09 Feb. Still no tax.I have to use VPN as suggested cuz could no longer access to iherbs after my first purchase...  But I have a question tho to others TS... Now buying from iherbs using Skynet still do not have to pay additional tax right? I remember the Govt mentioned there would be additional tax for overseas purchase, has it been imposed? Wanna make some purchase here... Not sure about the latest rules tho. This post has been edited by ApocalypseSoon: Apr 29 2022, 12:58 PM |

Not sure about the latest rules tho. But this time items were shipped from HK instead of US.. Guess that depends on the items we purchase?! anyways, stocked up too many supplements because I thought there would be tax imposed  |

QUOTE(Samdolo @ May 19 2022, 01:37 PM) roughly how many items you guys bought I try to limit total amount around RM300-RM400 each order. I read somewhere RM400++ might be risky but I'm not sure, as long as do not exceed RM500.Do u know what is the threshold of item , RM before getting tax or warning I always make sure each item quantity not exceed 2 piece..

QUOTE(ApocalypseSoon @ Oct 11 2019, 02:22 PM) QUOTE There are 5 port of entry for air-delivered parcel from USA into Malaysia. GOOD NEWS!!!The processing done by Farmasi & Kastam is based on the parcel port of entry. Jabatan Kastam will decide how much you will be taxed. Bahagian Farmasi will decide whether the supplement should be seized and whether a warning letter should be given. Red Color Warning letter: A General warning letter. Randomly given. (Can safety ignore it if it was for personal consumption) Yellow Color Warning letter: If a bottle have over 200 (?) tablet/capsule. (Don't re-order the same bottle within 60 days) White Color Warning letter: Only Penang issued it. (Please heed the warning) 1. Subang (Region covered: KL, Selangor, Kelantan, Terengganu & Pahang) - Followed the standard SOP, under RM500 no tax. - Give Warning letter. (Can safety ignore the Red/Yellow warning letter) - No phone call from Farmasi/Kastam. - For East Coast state, DHL only served your state capital. Pos Laju will take-over for other areas. 2. JB (Region covered: Johor) - Will randomly tax you. - Give Warning letter. (Can safety ignore the Red/Yellow warning letter) - No phone call from Farmasi/Kastam. 3. Penang (Region covered: Penang, Kedah, Perlis) - Will randomly tax you. - Give Warning letter. (White color warning letter - saying they only give u 1 chance after that they will seize it.) - Farmasi will also phone you and give you a verbal warning to discourage u from buying from overseas. - Penang Farmasi only give you 1 chance to buy using DHL Express, after that they will seize it, but you probably can continue to order using the slow Global Mail. 4. Kuching (Region covered: Sarawak) - Heard that they will seize all (but that was many years ago) - Now I heard that some was let through...... 5. Kota Kinabalu (Region covered: Sabah) - Heard that they will seize every supplements! N. Sembilan (Either Subang or JB Kastam) Melaka (Either Subang or JB Kastam) Perak (Either Subang or Penang Kastam) The above guide have been outdated due to SkyNet courier!!! But if you used any other courier the above guide is still applicable. IHerb is now using a new courier SKYNET for Malaysia. For all state in Peninsular Malaysia (I'm not sure about the autonomous region in Borneo) SkyNet will use SUBANG as their port of entry. Today I just received my order from IHerb, delivered to my address in JOHOR and surprisingly it goes through SUBANG. I ordered on 22-Feb, received on 1-March. Tracking showed SZB - WAREHOUSE, SZB is the IATA code for Subang Airport. This is also the reason why your order value cannot exceed USD$115 (115 X 4.07 = RM463) if u want to used SkyNet, which will be less than RM500 after conversion into RM. For Penang (and Northern region) folks, who previously received warning (White Letter & verbal) or being seized after ordered from IHerb you can now re-order again but this time u must use SkyNet. (Pls call SkyNet to re-confirm before ordering!!!!!) For Johor (and Southern region) folks, no more randomly imposed TAX on your order. If any of u appreciate this new information please use my discount code: Use this reward code WPP393, you will get 5%-10% discount when shopping at www.iHerb.com Steps to key-in the Reward Code: 1. Add item you want to buy into Cart. 2. Key-in WPP393 3.

QUOTE(BacktoBasics @ Feb 9 2021, 06:43 PM) I heard iherb has been blocked by MCMC in Malaysia. This may helpDoes it affect our purchases and shipment to Malaysia?? 8.8. 8.8 is the primary DNS server for Google DNS. Google DNS is a public DNS service that is provided by Google with the aim to make the Internet and the DNS system faster, safer, secure, and more reliable for all Internet users. With this, you do not need VPN to access iherb. Happy Buying! super macgyver liked this post

iHerb site block and I tested Google DNS. It was working
1. Go to the Control Panel. 2. Click Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Change adapter settings. 3. Select the connection for which you want to configure Google Public DNS. For example: To change the settings for an Ethernet connection, right-click the Ethernet interface and select Properties. To change the settings for a wireless connection, right-click the Wi-Fi interface and select Properties. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. 4. Select the Networking tab. Under This connection uses the following items, select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) or Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) and then click Properties. 5. Click Advanced and select the DNS tab. If there are any DNS server IP addresses listed there, write them down for future reference, and remove them from this window. 6. Click OK. 7. Select Use the following DNS server addresses. If there are any IP addresses listed in the Preferred DNS server or Alternate DNS server, write them down for future reference. 8. Replace those addresses with the IP addresses of the Google DNS servers: For IPv4: 8.8.8.8 and/or 8.8.4.4. For IPv6: 2001:4860:4860::8888 and/or 2001:4860:4860::8844. For IPv6-only: you can use Google Public DNS64 instead of the IPv6 addresses in the previous point. 9. Test that your setup is working correctly; see Test your new settings. 10. Repeat the procedure for additional network connections you want to change. |
