I would like to buy a faulty iphone from US. Will it still hold by customs and need to apply for SIRIM? Anyone has experience on purchased faulty phone from oversea?

QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Aug 24 2009, 10:34 PM) @kukarchoon, Thanks for reply First I've no idea Y U wanna buy something that's not working but that's not the point of this reply, right?!  I believe the same standards will apply whether or not ur bringing in a brand new phone, a 2nd hand phone or a faulty phone. Best is if U don't even declare it as a phone    Because faulty iphone is cheaper, and i can fix it by myself. I would like to ask seller to declare as" faulty MP3 player", dunno it will escape from customs |

QUOTE(nokia2003 @ Aug 24 2009, 11:01 PM) i believe electronic products are taxable (first point) Tat means handphone will never escape from tax/SIRIM, no matter it is faulty unit or how description declared?and all electrical/electronic products have to be SIRIM approved; will cost you about RM300 if my memory serves right (second point) not declaring it, will be futile as packages are scanned upon arrival and is dependent on your luck (third point) Added on August 24, 2009, 11:03 pm*disclaimer: your experience may differ from another user. I have experience tat i purchased more than 5 units of earphones from oversea before, and it arrived my house smoothly without any tax. |
