Ladies, I'm just curious... If let's say you want to buy some beauty products which are not available locally but can be bought through their official website or some western countries' e-commerce platform, will you still buy it regardless of the expensive international shipping fees?

Expensive international shipping isn't the issue. Shipment get stuck & confiscated by Jabatan Kastam is the main issue.

Beauty products are regulated. Can't bring them into Malaysia from overseas without prior notice to the Ministry of Health.

better avoid due to the hassle.

For certain products I would. Sometimes also see if can find personal shopper to get it
