About the KGM(1) under the Unit of Quantity. Does it mean if the total item of the item not more than 1kg mean no 20% import tax right?
Btw, what KGM stand for?

Usually yes, as long as you dont bring in exceed more than 1KG, means you're not into business trading.
KGM = KiloGRAM

As Morgan mentioned yes is Kilogram. No, it does not mean that way.


Where did you learn about that? care to share your experience?

Hi bbjslee, can you share yours experience?
I'm still blur when checking the custom website.

What would you like to know? Need to be more specific. There are too many things to know about custom, some rules & procedure and flexible ... which depends a lot on human factor.

Hi. Can you tell me about the 20% tax on KGM(1) about?

It's too much if ask you a lot of stuff all together. Can you mind tell me about flexible in custom & human factor you mention?

Thanks!

where u got that chart from? nothing comes out when i search for something ..

Here...
http://www.customs.gov.my/kastam/

where u search? try go to customs > AHTN duties order 2004 > Schedule 1

Please do not confuse AHTN duties order 2004 with Custom Duties order 1996. Both have slightly different codes and different duty rates.

AHTN is for goods imported from ASEAN countries and must accompied with certificate of origin....then u enjoy preferential rate ....

20% import duty is levied on the goods u imported no mater how many kgm.....the quantity is meant for customs declaration.....when u declare ur goods, you cant't declare in unit/tonne/pieces. must be in kg.


what else u all want to know.....this is my rice bowl...have been doing it for years oledi.....

Thanks!
That was very informative!

How about things that can't be searched ?
I searched communication, phones, cellular and mobile.
None in the custom duties order 1996 shows anything relevant.
The nearest I got is Telephone sets. But I was searching for mobile phones. The website did not show any though.

Can you find any ?

Anyways there stated 1 KGM. What happen if I bring more than 5 KGM ? Kena tax ?

This is a useful site for tariff information but I had to use google cache because the site is offline.... download it while you can...
