Hi all,

I am a Malaysian and will go to China (guangzhou) later this year for a work related travel. I most likely will be travelling on Airasia. The GPU should be around RM3k to RM4k

Can I buy a GPU in China and bring it back (in my carry on luggage) to Malaysia?

need see luck, if not caught you can get off scot free without paying anything

if caught, you will be charged customs tax. last time i shipped GPU over from US, i kena 8% tax. current rate should be higher ed

Why? GPU there more expensive, unless is old used card from mining rig

I know someone selling computer stuff in China and buying from them is much cheaper than in Malaysia (around 400-500 I think)

Is it the same like posting? I read traveling with it is not the same but I am not sure so I ask here

same end result if you declare, you need pay customs tax. it wont be free

But I head I can claim the GPU is a used GPU or it is a gift from a friend right?

I am not sure thats why I am asking

you can but see whether the customs believe only anot. its very hard to prove that its a used product for GPU

it really depends, but most likely you won’t have any issues if it’s packed inside your luggage and you’re not bringing too many. i once brought back 3 new hdds in their original packaging from japan without any problems.

Yes

I just shipped this week cleared kastam. No tax for graphics card. Are u sure GPU kena 8%?

Gift also useless. I have seen them taxing mcd children toys. Anything over RM500, you'll need a lot of luck.

Throw away all the box. Just bring in gpu.

U want to be safe then send it back to Malaysia via forwarder

yeah, long time ago when i shipped in a GTX660 via Newegg US. i got a call from Customs Malaysia saying they holding my stuff and will need me pay tax for them to release it
