QUOTE(Hitman190 @ Nov 10 2007, 01:03 AM) PS3 aint computer part per se....but it can be declared as such...the customs here...aint exactly the sharpest of knives... u will be surprised of what they know...   they can differentiate a PS2 and a PS3 and they know how much a PS3 cost here....cos my ps3 was held by custom and I needed to pay 15%tax(after sales tax) and 10%(import tax) or was it the other way round... |

QUOTE(Muchi @ Nov 10 2007, 03:46 PM) I think that if you declare it as a gift, the custom won't be able to tax you? nowadays even if u buy something online and ask them to send it as gift, it is still taxable..... Technically, a gift is something you accept for free from someone. And I don't think so they will take the trouble to check whether you are telling the truth or not?  |

QUOTE(Muchi @ Nov 10 2007, 04:43 PM) I bought my MGS 20th Anniversary pack back in August from YesAsia. They declare it as a gift and I was not required to pay any tax when I went over to collect my package. my point is it depends on ur luck...sometimes even if u dont declare it as gift and above RM500, they stil will not tax u...while some other times they tax u even if its declared as gift or even tax u RM60 for 2BD discs(although its oli about USD30++)  |
