what if they didnt register ?

for example, i make a website and sell underwear, with payment gateway anybody on the planet can make transaction and pay me, once i collected the money, i ship out the item to their address, who cares its in israel or ukraine, i just ship, do i need to register to ukraine or israel gov for shipping things to their country ?

taxed at customs i guess

thats the problem i purchase something low value, maybe rm10, ship in envelop or small package, how the custom trace the item value and tax me RM1 and how do i pay that RM1 ? the manpower cost of tracing and collecting payment far exceed the tax they gain.

i think all parcel have to mention the value of the object inside
even if u go send stuff at J&T, they'll also ask u to fill in the value of the stuff inside

that is not a world standard, you do that here, doesnt mean entire world do that, and even its written, in japanese, korean, manafaskar, and currency in all different currency, how u gonna handle ?

thats why the current system in place, custom only stop expensive package and tax kao kao, ignore all the sardine, cause the manpower to handle all the sardines completely not worth it, its like 10x more work(far more small packages), and 10x smaller income.
