Bro rx330, I feel that you always go SG to buy your stuffs, if I'm not mistaken, you live at Taman Pelangi right?

Anyhow, I beleive you got plenty of experience in bringing in your stuffs from SG. Mind telling us which one is "safer", the Tambak Johor or 2nd Link, and at around when ( morning ke, evening etc ) is the best time to avoid Customs to check your car? My previous experience, latest was middle last year. I was bringing in plenty of sports scooter & sportsbike stuffs for my mates ( and of course, I ask for commission lar! ) since I was spending a good whole week with my grandma over at Felda Cahaya Baru.

If it's viable, rather go SG and get my HT stuffs. Maybe not floorstanders lah, that oen too heavy oledi.

tongue.gif Soli ah if wrong address. Anyhow, share le your experience. If I find it viable ( and can ensure that I won't get stopped for check at the at MY Customs ok oledi ). Haven't driven to SG for about 6 months oledi, so dunno le if now MY Customs is very strict the full 24 hours stretch.

Seems like the prices for HT stuffs there is cheaper by at least 30% compared to here mah, that is why I'm eager to know your experience mah. I'm not doing a case profile la.... blush.gif

Thanks for the info htkaki. Hhhmmmm, this Velodyne sub will hold me off any urge to upgrade sub ke?

QUOTE(htkaki @ Feb 12 2008, 09:11 AM)
I guess it would be around RM2K for that

Ah, mucha thanks. Haihs, looks like hafta find a way to make the stuff look 2nd hand then. Out goes the spare tyre then! If I can drive my hatchback better lah. Got a nice hidden box, enough to put receivers + cables etc, but now there's two amps inside! blush.gif

Someone recommended me to find an old box and put the stuff inside, hide all the cables, warranty etc so the stuff look like I bought it from a person 2nd hand. So if I got stopped by MY Customs, show off the box and say : " Takde resit lah bang, brg 2nd hand beli dr kawan ni. ", maybe, just maybe, the probability of me getting off scot - free is there lah. laugh.gif

Aiyoo...

The past 3 years I've driven back to JB, I went to SG about 7-8 times, only stopped by MY Customs twice. Once I was carrying about 60 pieces to mixed clothing, that one I got away lah because the Customs officer was very kind. 2nd time, the see my luggage area, got a 10" sub and a rear strut bar, then simply let me off la. Only thing I had beside me was a sticker kit for Ducati MotoGP rep, that one didn't kena lah.

Well, it's been a while since I've driven to SG, so I dunno how the MY Customs are. blink.gif

How they classify / rate your 2nd hand stuffs when there's no receipt for it?

QUOTE(rx330 @ Feb 12 2008, 03:40 PM)
poyo, just to remind u one thing, customs officer is much more smarter than u think they are, trust me, they aint stupid biggrin.gif

and, even though its 2nd hand, its still taxable
