Looking at the thread title, are there other than US iPhones in Malaysian market now?

As for the Sirim mess, you need the right person to bring it in i guess.

Uhhh, yuck? Got SIRIM sticker now on iPhone? Hopefully no glue residue on your iPhone, i'd hate to get that off.

And Iori, you are most welcomed.

Even if you do wrap your precious in used underwears, the X-Ray machines doesn't care about its state of hygiene. Once they see it, they will ask YOU to remove your used underwears around the iPhone. Those X-Ray machines are there for a reason.

The best advice is by tr|n|ty here. Act casual, don't be nervous. Guilty people always make the first move, so maintain your cool. When I was bringing back those headphones from Osaka, I had to go through the normal lane for us staffs to go through. Bear in mind, they do not give any leeway for you even if you're staff. But I remained cool, even make small talk/chat with the officer, just like how always do when I meet them. Treat them like how yo'd do others, and they'd wave you off.

Of course, if your push trolley is so obviously bulging with stuff, and you are coming back from places where they've earmarked as being tax-prone, then all those tips I posted above means abosolutely nothing. When it comes to this, either take advantage of the rush of passanger hustling out of the baggage area, and hope the guy next to you gets selected for inspection and not you.

I have not been on the domestic arrival areas, they may flag you down and do manual search only.

Things are a little bit complicated for international arrivals. Those X-Ray machines are there to do the heavy work. If you're not flagged as most likely carrying dutiable items, then they'll just wave you through.

Also, your destination you're arriving from also determined how heavy the screening would be. Flights from destination in which passangers have historically been detained and found carrying dutiable items in large numbers, are screened heavier than those say, arriving from Siem Reap or Ho Chi Minh City. After all, you can only smuggle so much from those areas.

Demeanor and how you carry yourself also important. I suppose you do carry yourself well, and with confidence, that they don't feel compelled to search you more thoroughly. These customs guys, they are trained to smell fear.

Where from, if I may ask?

Just that I dont want to give others false hope, or the impression that the customs are easily trickable. They are not.

Did you get through domestic or international arrival terminal?

Good call. If they see that you dont anything in large volume to search for, and your travel destination didnt raise any flags, then they dont really have to flag you down and search you.

Thank God for small volume items, like iPhones. They may cost much, but they dont take much space. I can carry them into the country and still look like I'm travelling light.

Urggghhh, USPS? Good luck, most probably would be held by customs once it arrives here.

Get ready to drive up and down Pusat Mel Kurier at the back of KLIA and to SIRIM for your iPhone.
