That would be the illegal route. The agent must have done some funny business.

Now, customs will tahan your helmet if it doesn't have a SIRIM mark & JPJ approval.

Now, JPJ require all newly sold helmets in the market to be SIRIM marked. Even DOT approved helmets are not accepted now.

So, buying online from overseas right now will most likely get your helmet confiscated at the end (unless the manufacturer has obtained the SIRIM mark).

Even if you go travel overseas, buy a helmet & bring it back to Malaysia as carry on luggage; most likely it will be confiscated when you arrive.

It will be upon the discretion of the Customs officers to allow it to be brought in.

fb manyak helmet frm thai, copy ori apa pon ada, they can still enter mar.. lol.. kautim oni..
all same la, not jz helmet,
carry on luggage if they din check, still jalan terus ..

i heard imported helmet only got sirim if distributor send for sirim testing? like arai?
else will only hv jpj sticker.

If that is the case they must have done the JPJ's CTA (component type approval) by an approved Certification Body.

I've checked back again the rules that was recently enforced, the main requirements for the JPJ CTA are either MS 1 or UN ECE R22 by an accredited Certification Body.

For bringing in helmets from overseas for personal use, either by online purchase or by flight carry on luggage, if the helmets does not have the JPJ approval yet, the helmet  must have a valid UN ECE R22 certification. However, upon entry you will still need to apply for JPJ approval.
