Means dont need to wear nice helmet... cause to get SIRIM cert, the test will destroy the helmet... if low volume the cost cannot be recouup...

Last time i go singapore buy and WEAR it in...

My HJC doens't come with a sirim sticker. Its an official import from local HJC distributor.

Most wont give a rat's ass to the pretty useless sirim sticker. Unless you are talking about the lowest end of the bunch.

The free xdot helmet I got from my driving school had a sirim sticker. Which do you think I feel safer wearing? LOL

they say jpj wont approve now.
not like last time.
u can try...

xdot helmets are fairly decent, at least better than SGV ones

22.06

Do we still require sirim certification? I thought jpj can also accept ece22.05 right?

To be frank, Kastam officer will inspect for it, and maybe write a notice for pay tax. Is difficult becoz is a safety device. Eventhough ECE certified, also need JPJ lulus.

These days, buy from Shopee overseas, can get really really low grade helmet that pass for motorcycle use. Buyers beware la.

the law is SIRIM OR ECE22.05....."or"...not "and" - source: i emailed JPJ myself.

BUT... alot of officers out there may not be aware of the law and may think SIRIM is a must at all cost.

that was last time, nowadays they know better
I know some not approved here are DOT (US), SNI (Indonesia), which I think was the original huha on the topic, as some ppl tried to bring in Indonesian KYT models to Malaysia

add SNELL to the list as well... they are not approved.

MUST have SIRIM or ECE... anything else is a bonus... but dont have both....illegal.

necro-ing this thread....

im flying into bangkok in may.... was thinking to check out some of the helmets there and mebbe buy 1 for my gf if she finds any that she likes n affordable...of course the one ill buy will have ECE cert...

wanna put into our check in luggage.... hoping to walk past customs with the helmet in the suitcase.

but if they check and kantoi n confiscate.... whats the next steps to get the helmet back? kinda need a guide for dummies here.

Taobao import mari apa macam? no sirim at all

Can't seem to recall where I read this but I remember seeing something about insurance claim issue should you get involved in an accident with a helmet that's not sirim certified, don't quote me for this though.

considered as sensitive goods.
get a good forwarder, pay the extra for sensitip stuff,
use sea freight, high chance no problem.
dun go buy tons , just one ok la.

got ece shud be able to get if kena tahan.
they will tell you what to do.
u then go jpj to get approval, if approved , u go bek to kastam to collect it.

try to make it looks like u bawak frm msia,
disguise it as used helmet, pack it with other biking gears, to show u go there to sewa bike to tour..
take foto wearing the helmet with motor in thailand show to kastam fler.
choose the right time to arrive, dun balik time d fler got nothing to do..

Prepare to pay 35% in taxes plus other misc charges when kena tahan kastam.

Aku beli brakepad, windscreen, panniers etc dah kena. Helmet lagi la kena.

Madani needs money at the moment.

When I saw that banner during my last return flight, I asked the officer if I were to bring my own helmet overseas and back then how. They said you need to declare it when you leave the country that you're bringing a helmet overseas, then when you return you need to show them the declaration. Not sure exactly what form though but she said the procedure is something like this.

So if you were to purchase a helmet overseas and pretend you brought it from Malaysia, they may not buy your story.

yes
that's the proper procedure..

so depend on luck la lol..
they always like to say.. tengok budibicara.. so tengok lah.. lol

frequent travellers will know, how often that you kena stop for full checking?
so pandai pandai lah

From experience:

Bring the sales invoice of the helmet (clearly stated the model and price date purchase) from MY sourced seller.

Then Find the Custom booth in point of Departure, (KLIA or KLIA2) Ask them to record the helmet show the invoice and get the receipt (form) of acknowledgement that the helmet indeed for personal use.

This brings to the problem if your flight is during odd hours then chances the kastam booth is closed, you might need to go to the arrival section and speak with the kastam officers who manned the arrival checkpoint for this helmet registration.
