Has anyone ship phone from Singapore to Malaysia using DHL?
If yes will i be tax? This is personal shipping not from Shop.
Asking here because i got confuse in DHL website looking for information.

Small item, to a personal name/home address, usually they will not bother. If you put company name, very high chance kena kacau.

Also, remove any ori packaging if possible (make it look like cannot resell). If they think it is new, they will tax.

If new phones or new laptop, or any telecommunication devices, they will ask for SIRIM certification. If kena this sure mati. My company send me a laptop to work from home. Abang kastam ask me for Sirim approval. I had to argue it is a used laptop then only he lepas.

did u use their website for price estimation?

or u can try sf too could be cheaper

tax= yes...if kastam checked...and find the invoice...

then, u kena SIRIM check...another few hundred bucks through agent, or u go yourself apply....still waste of time.

good luck

i am twice buyer from aliexpress for phone...

lastly, u use DHL....the % kena is very high....becoz...DHL waiting to get your money.

im guessing wrapping it as a christmas wrapping paper will do the job, but do they ask the content?

Another note : If used phone, not allowed to courier to any international destination by air due to battery. Check if they have by road shipment.

i did get thru with their quote, but to know whether phone shipping is ok or not that section seems like only can be found in other region websites

Try your luck. I import toys and electronics, usually small items to personal they won't tax. Huge ass parcel, prepare 100++

the phone is also not cheap, looking at forum ppl here say kastam plus SIRIM. I think its going to cost a bomb

If you ship anything internationally, you need to include a shipping invoice. That is a declaration of the content. if they don't believe you, they have the right to open the package and check.

So why not buy the phone in Malaysia? You won't get it cheaper buying in Spore and add on courier fees, custom tax and SIRIM cert. If the phone is a gift inform the giver that you would rather not go through the hassle and fees.

it is a gift thats the problem, but since the hassle is so much i'll just hold it off.

Thanks everyone for the advise
