yes because Amazon and Malaysia government strike a deal in taxation where they do high speed release
It's like buying from Lazada overseas seller.

been buying SSD from Amazon for years and years. US amazonn. and they pre-collect import duty and yahudi shipping. But import duty they have been refundinng me after half a year or so...

Seems like UPS is the one that collect on behalf, and they process the import duty eventually under computer or some import code that is duty free.
