received my item last week..paid 5% import duty + 10% SST + RM5 Handling Fee.

email from fedex:

The Customs Duty/Tax is calculated based on total CIF value.
CIF value consists of Cost of Goods + Insurance + Freight.
Exchange rate : 1 USD = MYR 4.1329

Cost of Goods (FOB)
= USD 67.00 x MYR 4.1329
= MYR 276.90

Insurance (1%)
= MYR 276.90 x 1%
= MYR 2.77

Freight *
= MYR 326.30
= MYR 326.30

Total CIF Value (Taxable Value)
= MYR 605.97


* The Freight rate is derived from IATA table by Customs.
The rate differs according to the Country of Origin and Total Shipment’s Weight.
This Freight rate is not the shipping charges that you have paid to the Shipper or the shipping charges that the Shipper has paid to FedEx.

Hi, I would like to ask, if I were to send a 300usd/RM1200 earphone from the US to Malaysia, how much would I get taxed for? Or is there a place to look this up? Google just isn't giving me anything useful.

Hi sifus,

thanks! May i ask where and how you found this? I entered this number into MySST, and it came out with nothing.

Is this under sports?

It's under "Articles and equipment for general physical exercise, gymnastics, athletics, other sports (including table-tennis) or outdoor games".
You should enter it without decimal.

thanks!

Hi,

I am a shipper/seller.
Ships from Korea.

Here to put in some experience/tips.
Since I see a lot of dropshipper/reseller don't know these stuffs well.

Korea to Malaysia:

EMS: Price is normal, good for items that are relatively light but big in volume.
Gift or not gift, it's random check/kastam tax. Sometimes POSLAJU will charge extra fees to send to your address, as they will tell you to pick up at post office if the package is big. There's a limit on size/volume. Not recommended for 90% of cases but a lot of buyers in Malaysia are too used to EMS / only know EMS.

DHL: 100% follow rule tax, fast and cheaper than EMS at higher weight but have to consider tax rates. Volumetric weight (Volume/5000) applies

Skynet Special Line: NO CUSTOM TAX for whatever value. Extremely cheap for light weight items. Different rates for WM and EM, with EMS being cheaper for EM. DHL is still cheaper for higher weight. There's a limit on size/volume. Volumetric weight (Volume/5000) applies

In terms of transit time, DHL > EMS > Skynet.
In terms of price ( less than 10KG), Skynet < DHL ~= EMS
In terms of price ( more than 10KG), DHL < EMS < Skynet



Thanks!
