GOOD NEWS!!!
The above guide have been outdated due to SkyNet courier!!!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:

What i'm know is "5 bottles of the same supplement" for Human comsumption for sure it will be seized. Not sure about animal though. But i think if the label clearly said it is for animal probably it will goes through. Since Bahagian Farmasi is not Veterinary.

Yes, RM500 & Skynet still remained.

Okay so if 4 bottles of the same supplement is fine?

What happens if the goods are seized?

What about other products like shampoos, grooming products, honey, or dried food?

2 bottles should be fine, more than that is risky.
If want to buy more than 2, make sure it is from different brand.

If seized, u can call the Bahagian Farmasi officer to appeal. Usually if you are 1st timer, they will released it with a warning.

Only applicable for product that are used for Eating or Applied on the human body.
Not applicable to brush, comb, nail clipper, mirror & etc.

BTW I have a question. I cannot connect to iHerb website from Malaysia. The site is only accessible if I turn on VPN. Is it okay for you guys?

I heard iherb has been blocked by MCMC in Malaysia.

Does it affect our purchases and shipment to Malaysia??

Dear members,

I think there are no issues on buying supplements ( Max 2 units per product).

How about other categories of items? For example, personal care like body wash, shampoo, lotion?

Or health food such as peanut butter, coconut oil and etc?

So far, Ezipoz which is operated by Pos Malaysia allows "Health & Personal Care" items to be brought in to Malaysia as long as those items are not prohibited. For a list of prohibited items, you can refer to this page regularly: https://www.ezipoz.com/tips-and-faqs/shipping-restrictions

This means that technically it is okay to buy shampoo, lotion or certain health food from Iherb through Skynet (as long as your purchase is not going to fall into the list of prohibited items).
