You guys have experience buying guitars from Singapore?
How does the tax work? gst?
if it's shipped over instead of hand carry, how are the charges and implications...
Also if it's hand carry.
thanks again

Swee Lee charged me the GST and I claimed back the GST from Changi Airport. Airasia didn't allow me to hand carry the guitar. therefore, I have to had it checked in with my luggages.
When I reached KLIA2, i collected my guitar from the oversize baggage area and casually walked passed through the Malaysian Customs. They didn't check me even though I scanned the guitar with the case through the machine.
I guess they think that the guitar is part of my personal belongings that I brought back home.
