Yes. It's your rights as importer to get the original copy of K1 Form including COR (Customs Official Receipt)...

Just got the K1 form from DHL. To my horror the custom has charged me $100 additional for shipping. My merchant gave me free shipping for spending above $100. I'm not sure who to complain now and what options do I have? I don't think I will have a case with custom, DHL will claim they are just the middle person and merchant will claim it's my custom's problem.

I believe it's correct. Read my several post above to understanding duties/GST calculation.

Well, I purchased from the same merchant a month back and they charged me $8 for shipping. Custom followed the same rate in the K1 form and came to the conclusion that everything inclusive of shipping is <RM500 therefore no tax.

I believe because this time it's free shipping therefore customs used their own calculation to charge on the shipping.

Just to share on my previous purchase.

Invoice from merchant.



K1 form from Custom.



As I said earlier Custom used the same freight rate declared by the merchant.

Your story is similar to this fella:

Btw, according to IATA 2016 freight rate table, minimum charge is RM480.25 for shipment from US under 45.0kg

did your shipper put the shipping charges in the invoice for this shipment? If not custom will charge according to the standard rates they have. I think basically DHL person who is doing the K1 form and not the custom. Unless custom dispute the shipping rates.

Once you paid getting back your money from the custom department is going to be very hard.

They have the rights to charge you according to the rates like what Kherell77 said but most of the time if they included the shipping rates charges in the invoice you are basically safe on that side. Which what happen on your previous shipment. Company who shipped frequently have a better shipping rates.

Hi guys. Newbie here. Want to know normally what they charge for importing motorcycle parts & accessories? Let say the parcel is 86kg. Item price RM12k + shipping by UPS RM6k = RM18k. How much for the tax and others charges? Tq.

Are you sure K1 form is by DHL? I believe my shipper put the shipping rate as zero since it's free shipping. Obviously DHL/custom didn't know that so they used their own rate.

Yes K1 is done by forwarder for custom approval. Custom wont do the K1 form for you. Their job is to approve or make changes if they dont agree with what your forwarder have declare.

When they put 0 means you will be charge according to their standard rates since K1 calculation is based on CIF. Shipper still need to pay the shipping charges no matter what.

So I won't have a case even with DHL as long as my merchant doesn't state it's shipping amount.

you can try but money is actually paid to the custom department and not to DHL. Any claim you want to do you will need to go to custom department.

For me I just dont think its worth my time to do it.

Invoice stated with shipping charges doesnt mean that they wont change the rates as some people have been slapped with the standard rates as well in the past.

I once got a warranty for RAM from US and they use UPS. It got tax for GST of over RM40 bucks which does not make sense. I just told them send it back to sender. I don't want to pay for it. The new ram cost like RM50 anyway. What a joke. The way customs calculate GST is blown out of proportion.

hey guys, recently i bought shoes shipped from sweden
it costs 2k++ and the weight is 1.54kg.

and today while i tracked the parcel and it stated The item is now at customs abroad for determination of any customs duty payable.

what should i do?call the custom?

so today i called UPS asking how much tax & duty i have to pay for my item

apparently the tax duty and gst are charged for every RM500. So if the item is RM1000, they will charge twice the amount for tax duty n gst

is this normal? the tax n duty is 7% and 13% and then 6% gst. I thought i would only have to pay around RM300 max, but now gone up until RM450+

There is no such calculation like that. Ask them draft K1 Form for perusal before agreed to pay anything...

apparently the seller didnt specify the shipping amount, so custom dept simply added about RM283 shipping cost to the item. The shipping cost was actually only 35 euros, and the item itself is 179 euros. So they calculated again and it goes down to 360+, which is still more than i expected. Already asked them to email me the detailed calculation but still havent got it

need help guys, my parcel ady stuck at custom for 3 days

should i call them or wait for the status to update
