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 .

Blog

Now everything is clear.

Again thanks for your input.

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 all,

Just wanted to know when are IATA Tact Rates applied? I recently bought a frying pan for AUD198 (RM600) incl. shipping but customs is claiming a clearance fee of RM300++ because of minimum IATA charges of RM356.77

Is there a way to dispute this?

Hi,

I'm wondering, what if someone from Malaysia win a giveaway/contest that's from USA. In the ToS, the contest organizer is only responsible for providing the prize and shipping. The winner needs to pay for customs fees. How much will that be?

The item: a tablet like this: https://www.xp-pen.com/product/541.html (basically a monitor that you can draw on with battery-free stylus. Need to connect to a PC)

Location: Langkawi, Kedah.

Thank you.

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.

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.

cool bro, i didnt manage to look through the form but will check it later. Thanks for your reply bro

Hello sifus

I'm sorry. I'm sure these has been asked many times but I just want to be sure.

If I buy a brand new full set of road bike will i be charge the import tax? or SST ?

How do i do calculation for this? For example the bike cost is USD 5000 + shipping USD 300.

Also would i be taxed if bought computer bike worth usd 400?

Thank you in advance. This would really help me to understand the import rax.

Hi, Kherel77. Would you share us the iata freight rate or is it confidential? Appreciate ur help

Hi guys,
I need some advice.

Last week I bought some mill max sockets,
https://my.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Mill-Ma...i1rs8w5iF41k%3D

The total value is RM255, and freigh was RM74. And I used FedEx.

Upon reaching Malaysia, I was informed that I need to pay RM211 for tax. And the reason behind it is because my freight charges is now RM523 as declared by FedEx (or Customs, I don't know who).
The invoice shows freight RM523.

2 months ago, I bought the exact same product, and I used UPS.
The freight was RM88.
However, that time, I wasn't taxed and the reason was because the freight in the custom invoice was RM88, so my CIF was less than RM500.


I have approached the PK today, and they told me any item from the US, even if it's RM1, will be charged freight RM523.

I just need to know whether I am being conned.


Update:
After much resistance.
FedEx has agreed to lower my tax from RM211 to RM83.
I have agreed but will never use FedEx again.
