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 🙏

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

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.

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?

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.
