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.

safer to put remark as free shipping? or they dont believe?

Better to include it separately.

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.

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.

Guys, I wanna purchase a shirt above the RM500 limit. How much will i get taxed? The value of the item + 6%?

Not "+", but 6% from total value..

Ok thank you

I received my Bluetooth speaker just fine. I think they ain't too tech savvy to realized the Bluetooth part or just lazy to bother.

Wanting to buy coffee machine, but read that it's 30% tariff.

Anyway to avoid this?

thanks for the info!

I just bought HD650 headphones from Massdrop usa. They cost rm800 but with shipping fee and 6% GST maybe rm1000. I use ezipoz to ship Malaysia. Should I declare it as rm500 item or will they know?

I am planning to get a watch from US which is above RM 500. Most probably my watch will be hold by kastam for the 6% GST. My question is, where can I do the kastam clearance(payment) in order for me to receive my parcel?

I think they won't know if you can adjust the cost on the invoice.

As per my experience before, DHL settle it for me. I just make the payment to them and they will settle everything including the 6% GST.

Is this confirmed? I am planning to buy 1 child car seat from germany
