if i buy something that doesnt involve sirm , example : shoes , will i get taxed if the total is over rm500 ?

I want to buy a azimuth meter (it is an audiophile electronic meter used to measere signal from Vinyl Turntable, much like a multimeter), what kind of tax i should expect? And does it need any regulatory approval? The price is about US$250. Thanks.

Hi,
A wireless bluetooh stereo headset = USD39.99
Postage = USD18

Is this taxable? if so which category i will fall on?

Thanks alot

yeah if i import 5 headphones and each at 99 us dollar. will i get taxed?

rubrubrub, yes, 10%

10% only? and will these 5 headphones get stopped by customs?

i'm not sure. but what I understand is, for EMS/USPS, it's matter of luck. if kena stop, u have to go to sepang. if DHL/UPS/Fedex, they will calculate the tax and then charge u when delivering to u. u pay cash lor + RM25 handling fee (or something)

If I combined taxable and non-taxable items in one shipment and the total value + shipping exceed RM500, will I get taxed although the taxable items value + shipping is less than RM500?

sigh that sucks. ebay sellers use mostly usps to deliver. Okay let's say if i use Fedex or DHL (since marshall official website offers either DHL or fedex) and assuming fro ur statement, they will send it to my door but with extra charges am i right? if so, how much will either one of the delivering services charge me? will they notify me how much they will charge before they deliver or only notify me when those headphones arrive?

I'm afraid of hidden charges that will amount to 50% of the items' price or worse, more than the items itself o

hi need your help if i order car philips h4 bulb cost rm120.00 from ebay uk have any import tax.? urgent thanks

Better don't combine taxable and non-taxable items in one parcel, it confused them and they likely tax you all. I have got that experience once, you can argue but they have the final say.

no lah, don't worry, maximum gonna be +10% of total price , then add RM25.

still so much cheaper than buying in KL hehehe

HI everyone

Hi guys,
was wondering if i am going to import 1000 digital photo frames from china, will it be taxed? i called the hotline up and they said no. but looking at what every one else said regarding electronics, it does seem like it will be text (according to this forum lol)

it wont be taxed, but it will be "inspected" if no proper description are written down. and u'd get charged for handling fee or something. just write down "USB DIGITAL PHOTO FRAME" - "COMPUTER ACCESSORY CATEGORY"


I think so la

can someone tell me complte list item category that may be taxt...

How about old goods? My parents (and, perhaps, me too) are moving to Malaysia. So we'd like to bring along amp, speakers, DVD recorder, a 2006 Mac Mini, printer, etc. Will they bother us? I mean, the things are already old, and we don't want to sell them. Yes, if you are moving back (my Mum is) you are allowed to bring your household goods with you, but that seems quite troublesome, and would they accept it if we fly there and bring just a few items with us, i.e. not use a container?

What about DVDs? I'd like to bring along my DVD collection (I'm pretty proud of what I think is an exquisite collection of arthouse and indie movies, and it was expensive after all), but they are all uncut, and even if they were, Malaysia is extremely conservative (some movies that are okay for children here are something like NC-17 in Malaysia). I don't want to get into any trouble or get them confiscated.

just go to customs webpage
