Thanks kherel. I got the same result but I would like to ask how did you get the 10% SST figure?

If you see the result below under PDK 2017, The column for "IMPORT RATE" and "SST" is blank on the customs page. I assume blank would mean 0% for both import duty and SST?

Scroll to the right for duty/tax percentage.

I have a second question if you don't mind. Do you know what's the HS code for console games? (e.g. PS4/PC/XBOX games). Basically console games on disc.

i bought 40 pieces of used CDs from Zenmarket. Is there a possibility that custom will hold my item? There are few options that the website offer such as:

1. remove the website sticker on the parcel
2. remove all price tags on the item and remove any invoice @ receipt
3. Other special request (i can request to tag the parcel as personal belonging)
4. The items can be shipped multiple times (separate the CDs to few parcels and posted separately)
*
No reason for Customs to hold your items unless containing indecent or pornographic material of any description.
Music CD's have 5% SST.

Hi, can I know what's the rate for purchase of tshirt, polo shirts, rugby jerseys. Basically clothing. Is there any difference in price of the import duty or SST say if I buy RM1200 worth of tshirts/clothing, including shipping in 1 package comparing to splitting it to 2 RM600 packages?
*
Both situation will incur duty/tax. 2nd method will increase total duty/tax as freight charge is calculate twice.

Thanks for the prompt reply.

This lead to another two question, based on what you have mentioned. It will be best for me to declare the actual figure of the bike? (I want to insured that package)
*
Base on market price+insurance+IATA freight rate. If used, declared it as "used" item in the shipping invoice (can ask your friend to create it) or Airway Bill/Bill of Lading to get lower value.

QUOTE(hjh87 @ Dec 9 2019, 09:39 PM)
Another question is, what if the custom do hold the item and request for the Import Duty or SST only then they will release the item??

What should I do then?

Thanks again.
*
Import duty/SST incurred must be settle before Customs release the item. If no duty/SST incur, they will release it. Can ask your shipping agent/courier to pay on behalf first.

So can I safely assume what I'm going to need to pay is 10% of RM1783(GBP326) = RM178.30 + RM53 DHL charge for clearance(based on DHL agent) = RM231.30

All are item of clothing...shirts, caps
*
Roughly, yes. Refer my previous post for exact duty/tax calculation.
Min IATA freight rate for UK-MY is RM316.94.

Thanks for your reply.

Based on Sales exempted tax 2018, yes bicycle is 0% SST.

But how about the import duty. Bit confuse on this part, any specific details on how one will hit with this import duty for bicycles? (Does this depends on the officer liking whether or not to incur that shipment?)
*
Depend on your shipping invoice/AWB description. If in doubt, then Customs will proceed with actual physical checking.

QUOTE(hjh87 @ Dec 10 2019, 10:29 PM)
And also, say I do ask my friend state it an used item and state the value say half the actual pricing of the bike. Then how about the insured value? Can I still insured for the actual pricing?
*
You can declare "used" price in the shipping invoice & when do Customs declaration.
Insured value that we're talking here is figure to calculate duty/tax only. Actual insured value is up to you, higher insured value come with higher premium.

Thank you for your reply. And sorry for asking more.

One last thing, if I opt to get direct from a shop which they unwilling to state as "used" and in the invoice will be as sales.

Will this situation might lead to the higher chance of getting hit with import duty??
*
Still follow shipping invoice value, if any. But if too low, it will trigger Customs.

Yes, you can assign them.

Noted, and from previous table the import duty is 25% on others bicycles type will this is the actual and maximum percentage if one really get hit by the import duty? Will the officer impose higher than this value??
*
They can't. It is in the Customs Duties Order, cannot simply increase or reduce if the item is fall under specific Tariff Code which have it's own rate.

Good to hear this,

Cause I read from a blog (dated 2011) that the blogger state some custom officer can simply slap the importer any import duty amount they like doh.gif .

Blog

Now everything is clear.

Again thanks for your input.  notworthy.gif

This is happened because he don't know exact Tariff Code for his items. We as importer must know which Tariff Code will be use & estimate % of import duty/SST and ready to argue with Customs if dispute arise. Happened to me few times.... Customs also human being, still can make error & mistake.

Hi Kherel.

I'm trying to find the HS code for virtual reality headsets. Items such as Oculus VR, Playstation VR, Samsung VR. Just wondering if u know?

Do you refer to a file list where we can find the HS codes easily based on item? Finding the HS code through the customs web site seems a bit hard.
*
If not mistaken is 8528.52.0000 which have 5% SST.

I have this book for my job requirement.

Hi bro, i got this SMS from FedEx regarding import duty. Want to seek your advise, if there should be no import duty, should i call them to clarify?
*
No import duty but there is SST. SST is the tax that mentioned in that SMS. You can ask for Customs K1 Form from them before proceed to pay.
Fedex (including few big name courier company) usually pay on-behalf when do declaration & claim back from you prior to delivery/on delivery.

Sifus sekalian,

Want to ask if foreign supplier want to send me a demo unit of machinery for free, do I need to pay for any import duties or SST as in there is no value (no selling price by supplier) for this machinery. Or the Kastam officer will evaluate the machinery base on market value?

sweat.gif  sweat.gif  sweat.gif
*
Whatever goods transfer across border, it must have certain value to declare to Customs whether for sale, loan, demo, etc...

Is it import into Malaysia & to be return back to your supplier? If so can apply temporary import permit from Customs to exempted for duty/tax.
But most of machinery have 0% import duty/tax. What kind of machinery?

If failed, you can ask supplier to decrease value in shipping invoice with remark "used items/for demo unit/not for sale/for Customs value purpose only"

Temporary Import Facility
