Thanks for all responses. This is something new to me and it is good that I checked here. I am not aware of this latest regulation set in 2024 last year. For the past 25 years I have shipped many high priced items from overseas to KL, mostly hifi cables from USA back in the day and accessories from Singapore lately just after COVID-19 around 2022. The new item was priced above RM2k but was under-declared by the seller who is a registered shop with Carousel Singapore. No tax incurred.

I am fortunate that many of the items shipped from overseas for the past 25 years have been held by the customs. With this current rule with Low Goods Value tax it looks like everything below RM 500 will be subjected to 10% tax already. What about items above RM500? I presume more than 10% tax? Looks like we can forget about shipping anything from overseas into Malaysia already.

What about shipping from China via Shopee platform? If the item is more than RM1k will it be held by customs and then buyer pay the tax, or Shopee will settle it?

10% is a lot. Not worth it now to take the risk although checking can be random, especially with high priced items.

I wonder how the customs will impose the tax if the item is used and not new.
