Please search here http://tariff.customs.gov.my/ search for item description watch.. if the tarrif code is correct tax is 20%
*
Wrist-watches, pocket-watches and other watches, including stop-watches is fall under Tariff Code 9101.xx.xxxx which carry only 6% GST.

What you saw with 20% import duties is "glasses for watch or similar" under Tariff Code 7015, not complete set of watches.

Hi kherel77, I have been asked to email the online receipt to custom at post office but the tax is too expensive. (Japan 2nd hand wheel rims)
1. my exporter declared lower value than my online transaction. Should I take the packing note value to declare at custom or the online receipt?
2. When custom tahan the parcel at Malaysia, do they actually get the item description (Quantity, price etc.) online detail from exporter?
3. How do customs verify and confirm the receipt is tally with the packing list?

Hope you can clearify my doubt.

Hi,
From what you wrote here, I assume your shipment was coming with only AirWayBill & without shipping invoice. Plus your shipper put low price for it. Normally it will triggered Customs & raise a flag. So that's why they ask for supporting documents.
1. You can ask softcopy invoice/receipt from the shipper. Packing note/AWB value is only a reference shipping value for courier general use/shipping insurance/etc...
2. No. Courier/freight forwarder will provide to Customs if they got it from shipper. But they do have reference on market value. They actually have 1 team/department for check items market value. Little of us know this unless you work with Customs or had training under them.
3. As above. If the value declare not carry too much different, they also didn't bother. But if too low it will raise a flag as I said before.

For vehicle rims, most of them have 30% import duty + 6% GST.

This is what happened when seller didnt list the shipping cost in the invoice. Then Kastam will ask the shipper how much and get quoted ridiculous price.

Actually Trades terms & Customs terms is different. Shipping fees charge by seller is Trades terms & it's calculate in item's FOB value. Customs Freight Rate is Customs terms under IATA which is use for duties/GST calculation.

So I've been collecting anime and game figurines for the past few years, a lot of which were imported fro Japan. Last time the tax was 5% for item value under RM1000, then the GST was implemented in 2015 onward so it's 6%. Then they ask me to get permissions from KPDNKK for every item held by custom which is a pain but complied. Then this morning they told me the I need to pay RM100 agent fee for every different sender instead of the usual RM100 fee + tax, meaning that I had to pay RM300 since the items came from three different vendors. Is this standard practice or did I get fleeced by the agent?
*
6% GST is normal tax for toys/figurine.
KPDNKK permit is must now as sex toys/porn stuff is prohibited to import. So they have to filter this.
RM100 fee is on your shipping agent. Maybe other agent is lower. You have to find another agent if want cheaper rate.

Anyone can shade light on this question?
If I  buy 3 items of different design, each item bout rm100+, add in those IATA freight charge maybe another rm200, will I be charge custom duty on the entire shipment?
Or does it only apply to the exact same items?

Another similar scenario...
What if the shipment contains assorted items, some items rated 0%, some 20%, how do they actually calculate the CIF value? It will be bad if the max rate is used on the entire shipment....☹
*
List out the items in details.
Provide me exporter's country.
Provide the weight.

I'l try find the Tariff Code & IATA freight rate.
% of duties/taxes is on individual item, not entire shipment.

hi All (especially those who are experts like kherel77, mistyblue etc)

if item is educational toy looks like iPad but without "clean" screen. The screen is just full of rows+columns to press button and make light+sound. Size is like iPad

I search the HS codes and it most probably will be 8471. 30

Anyone got experience on this and want to share how much tax and duties, the total shipment will cost RM3+k

Do I need to tell anything specific to the seller regarding the invoice and shipping amount? It is FREE shipping but I have asked him to put some number in the shipping charges and reduce the per unit total so comes to the actual total I paid him.

I already ask to not use FedEx or DHL and just use USPS express

Can others please help list out things that i need to pay attention to.

I am trying to avoid paying tax and other irrelevant charges as this will be for kids attending a charity language school.

Thank you in advance

Something like LeapFrog Learning Tablet? it should under 9503.00.9900 which carry 10% tax. #9503 is classified under Toys.
Shipping invoice must be detail in description as Customs first check is by the invoice.
Shipping charge is between you and seller. Not count in duty/tax calculation.

With RM3k++ invoice value, it's hard to dogde the tax...

p/s: i'm not expert doh.gif

Hi There,

Does anyone know how to use this site?
http://mysstext.customs.gov.my/tariff/

I'm trying to check the HS code and duty for golf equipment.  I selected the following
Tariff type = PDK 2017
Search criteria = Item description
Keyword = Sports or Golf

But when I click on the link for the HS code e.g. 4203.21.0000 I get a blank table!  I tried with different Tariff types (in the first field) but I get the same blank table.

Any help would be appreciated!
*
Should type without decimal.
It have 0% import duty + 10% SST

Thanks kherel, I got it.

Do you know if golf club shafts and grips (parts of the golf club) are under HS code 4203.21 (Specially designed for use in sports)?  I did a search for "clubs" and there another category 9506.31 (Clubs, complete) but this seems to refer to complete, assembled clubs.
*
TC# 4203.xx.xxxx is for apparel / clothing & accessories.

Club shafts or grips should under 9506.39.0000 which carry 10% SST.

Thanks very much kherel!

Do you also know if Customs / Pos Malaysia charge SST on imported packages costing less than RM500?
*
Duties/Taxes is charged by & paid to Customs, not Pos Malaysia. Pos Malaysia or courier only act to declare & pay the duties/taxes on your behalf. They will claim back from you prior to delivery.
Regarding exemption for CIF value under RM500, yes...but must declared in K1 Form to get the exemption. For big name in courier like DHL/Fedex, they get auto exemption for this type of shipment & no need to do declaration.
