If I'm not mistaken, taxable value is RM500 and above. can andy confirm?  hmm.gif

taxable items actually depends on which categories it falls into...As for Wii, its under gaming consoles which should be 10% import tax and 15% after sales tax (or was it the other way round... unsure.gif )...but if u r carrying it back, u can try to go through the green lane without declaring it.... whistling.gif

how much tax? was it based on the value declared? like if i declare to USPS that the Wii set with a few games is $450, they might tax me a % of that $450?

thanks

yup...the tax was based on the value tat was written on the package...if u put less value ur tax is less but the insured sum is also less.. sweat.gif sweat.gif

no, i mean when someone talked about a courier which can evade tax, i was wondering if the courier has its centers here in the states.
of course its cheaper to get it in the states. plus u get 5 free blu rays (plus 10 free for me)

ooh..i believe DHL /FEDEX did the trick for certain ppl.......cheaper in the states??not really after u consider the tax and courier price...its about the same oledi....... sweat.gif sweat.gif
