so this is what happen

I bought a earphone from Jays sweden.

The earphone costed 79usd which is about Rm350, plus shipping of 19 usd, about RM 60++.

However I kena tax of RM73!! which is about 20%.

So I check the receipt,



it shows that the freight cost RM 346.35.

How come???

the tax now they charge 10%, but 10% of RM674, so it is RM 67 + 5(free commercial zone, duno whats that) = RM 72!!!!

So wtf???

They just simply add the shipping cost so they can tax me more???

This is unacceptable!!

I wanna ask /k for opinion, am I being scammed here?

If so, I will go to their office and shout,

and ask their freaking manager come out talk to LIMBEH!!!

Will probably ask my friend to record me making a scene and post on /k.

Thank you sifus of /k, please advise 🙏

i think so too!

that parcel guy look so happy when i pay him the money

i wonder if he got a cut from this scam?

FYI custom duty charge ur shipping fees.
u go check electronics, the HS code from custom
on top of that they have handling fee which is X amount plus SST

I once bought a kitchen electronics
Tax about RM 250, handling fee RM50+6%

from an items RM750 become RM 1100+

it's very luck dependent , they random check, if u unlucky and they want to charge u, u just bad luck.

U lucky it's FED EX Door to door service. if custom hold ur item good luck Q and talking to custom

Thanks for ur information.

But my problem here is,

Yes the tax includes the shipping fee.

But the shipping fee in the receipt is RM 346,

I only paid RM 60+ for the shipping fee,

I don't know where the RM 346 shipping fee comes from

didn't call FED ex for clarify?

Did you mention a shipping cost of USD19? It is supposed to be your freight cost. If the shipping cost is left empty in your CIF form, then Customs will use its Freight database by country of origin to calculate your freight cost. Usually, the freight cost under a minimum freight weight is the highest, depending on the country of origin.

Fedex have a special table with fixed shipping rate, so they take that rate instead of the actual rate. I kena once too. Lesson learned, ask the seller don’t use fedex. I never kena when using DHL or UPS.

lol
that shipping fee is what the sender charged you. he could be subsidizing it or he could have extra discounts from fedex.
go to fedex website and download the official freight charge from fedex. then use that as reference.

You are right, shipping cost of USD19.

Freight cost in the Commercial Invoice is 0.00

the weight of my item is 0.3kg.

how come freight cost under a minimum freight weight is the highest?

I see, now I understand!

Thank you!

i ordered many times internationally, china, US, etc.

items that are more expensive,

and never get taxed before.

AMD processor have a warrantee return FOC account with FEDEX.
And I ask for a boot kit for the new RYZEN 2200G and the Custom tried to scam me for taxes when the boot chip will be returned, FEDEX call 3 times a week, and I ask AMD send in a invoice, only they release.
When I return the processor to their Singapore HQ, Customs tried to scam me for taxes, luckily I kept the invoice copy, and they release it after 3 days.

When you have a corrupt system, everyone involves in the system are corrupted.

My company was using tnt before being taken over by FedEx. Since takeover simply charge tax without contacting me. My imports supposed to be tax-free.
Long story short, I refused to pay, the suspend my account. Then proceeded to cancel all pending imports and switch to DHL. Didn't look back since.

You are taxed based on nilai CIF, cost + fright + insurance. So yes, shipping cost included in deriving the import tax payable

back in BN gov i barely kena customs tax, almost like it was never enforced now with PH sini tax sana tax, babi betul this gov i want to vote for BN next election

custom duties + sst

blame your shipper for not declaring the freight cost

i use FedeX always kena TAX ....knnccb one

I use DHL or others never kena tax also ....fark FeDeX

That receipt was from Kastam, so u better go to Kastam Office & made a scene.
