hi fgt, thanks for your infor.

but my items are from japan and i bought those bento stuffs like food picks, sandwich cutters and all those plastic ware wor...
i only received sms from them saying how much the custom duty only. they have not call me yet. will they send to me and how now? as per status now, the items now "in transit' guanzhou cn. 

There is also a rule of duty applicable to stuffs valued more than RM500 including shipping (how much is shipping costs btw?). I'm not too sure what stuff exactly and it seems your items are in the same category.

I think they hold it in CN so that they could send it back just in case you refuse to pay. Fedex or any private express courier service doesn't go through the normal process like national postal services do (ie, USPS or Royal Mail) and so I doubt you can settle it yourself. You'd just have to pay the amount I guess.

To make things clearer for you, you can call them to ask the specific details of the charges, they will tell you. Do call them up, their CS is quite pro as far as i know.

Ah so it is going to be taxed in the first place? Yeah it's always a hassle when it involves tax and duty. Percentage stated does not include the hassle that you have to go through. I'd avoid buying stuffs overseas if it's on that taxable list. The hassle is just not worth it, for me personally at least.

Don't worry. Be patient and just take it as learning experience.

Good luck with that package!

Whoa. What's the matter this time? What did you bring in?  

Ok, sharing my experience importing a wedding kimono for men from Japan. my japan friend did the transaction and got the kimono shipped to me . Kimono costs around RM1500.00

One day, poslaju called me whether I want them to be their agent, they will settle all the tax and procedure, then later I only pay them when pickup at Pos Laju branch.

I was practically thinking that the tax would be cheaper than me driving all the way from Melaka to KLIA (toll and petrol) so I agree.

2 days after that, poslaju called me tell me that procedure completed and they will forward the item to PosLaju Melaka. I was soooo shocked when hearing the tax and fee... total up to RM600++ DAMN!

if i had driven to KLIA, i could have negotiated with Kastam for the tax cos i bought it for my personal use (for my wedding!)

Moral : don't rely on POSLAJU as agent

Guys! My bronze sculpture (From Ebay) kena stop by malaysia KLIA custom,
