i'm curious between sales tax and duty.

i plan to import clothes from china, more than 500, but i wonder what if i separate the shipment by a couple of days into less than 500 at a time, would it still be taxed? what does it mean by 10% sales tax anyway?

Hi.  Newbie here.  I hope this is the right place to ask this question.

I currently live and work Japan and want to send most of my things to Malaysia.  I'm hoping to get a job their or in Singapore in August.

I'm leaving Japan in June to go to England to do a training course in July, and then will fly to Malaysia.  I'll be sending my things to a cousin's house in Malaysia for storage.  I'm a UK citizen.

I'll be sending mostly books, clothes, a computer, monitor, snowboard, and other bits and pieces.

Nothing I have was bought within the last 6 months.

What kind of duty/taxes am I looking at?  I've emailed Malaysian Customs, and it's slow going.  I don't know what forms I need,  what the tariffs/taxes/duties are, etc.  I've asked, but as I've said, it's slow going with me emailing them, them replying, me emailing them again because they haven't been clear or haven't answered all my questions...

I've also read somewhere that I have to be in Malaysia to receive the items.  Is this true?

Also,  I'm supposed to get an Import Permit from the Energy Commission for my electrical devices.  Where do I get that from and where can I find the forms?  I can't find anything on the internet.

I will be sending my things either via a private shipping company (by sea), or via the post office (by sea/surface mail).

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

As you know there are many email in and out at Kastam. You need to fill K1 form. Yes by law, electrical devices are required to obtain Suruhanjaya Tenaga or Energy Commission approval.

i want to import a video camera from China
the size of the camera is smaller than a handphone size
no wireless and no bluetooth, just video camera only
the price is less than RM500

will I get any import duties?

Camera is tax free. As long there's no wireless connectivity, there will be no SIRIM approval. thumbup.gif

You have to buy the software for up to date tariff finder. I bought it. Quite expensive.

A little like those "electronic kits" that you buy and solder.
