Hi kherel77,

Can you help me with this question? Sorry but seem that you are knowledgeable in this matter.

I just got to know a friend got tax buying a roadbike from Germany.

Appreciate your help.

Thanks.

Normal roadbike under Tariff Code 8712.00.3000 got 25% Import duty, 0% SST.

Hi,

Oh wow!

I thought normal roadbike & kids bike are under ZERO import duty except for other than these two?

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?

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

Hi there,

Has anyone imported Mass Loaded Vinyl before? I had received the HS (3918.10.9000) code from Kastam and they ask me to refer to KPDN. When I refer to KPDN they are also not sure.

Just wondering if I will need an import permit for it. Otherwise it's RM2000++ down the drain. XD

Thanks!

Hye. I would appreciate if there's anybody can help me.. What was the imported fee for hoverboard buying from trecinn
Item price at rm900++

Say I want to buy leather wallet from US, I will need to pay 10% sales tax?

Hi there. I just bought a felt hat from australia amouting less than rm500. How much will the tax if any ang sst charge once the item arrived in Malaysia. And what is the HS coding for the item. Will ot under the MAFTA trade agreement?.

Hello, how much custom duties and tax imposed on men leather wallet? According to what I find using HS code 4202 or specifically 42023100, it is 10% sales tax ONLY. And from this forum, article no. 23, it stated leather handbags and bags are 10% sales tax ONLY, does wallet consider under this category?

If so, then what I found is the same as what stated in thia forum that is 10% sales tax ONLY? Please verify, thanks!!!

fedex mmg cibai i also kene mcm ni dan they refuse to lower my tax..

better use DHL or UPS

HI there you still uses zenmarket?
Have a few question, when using airmail does it sometimes get through customs? if so how many went pass from your experience?
Thanks

Hi there, I stopped using zenmarket for quite some time already.
But yes, all airmail will still go through custom - as long as your declared value is not ridiculous (ie, small box size, low value usually no problem), it'll go through just fine. Compared to DHL/Fedex/UPS, still higher chance of passing through customs without issue.
However, if your parcel is a big box with low value declared, customs are highly likely to open up and check/verify.

I've had experience where FedEx or whoever it was at customs clearance office tried to "con" my money by using the wrong HS Code.
Bought a jacket, seller declared a ridiculously low value for the parcel - raised customs officer's suspicion. Customs officer googled the item and decided to whack a 25% tax duty (which is too high even for jacket) on the retail price they found online.

I had to pay for the duty upon receiving the parcel but then I realized something was not right so I decided to double check the HS tariff code and everything in the custom receipt. The tariff code provided by shipper is 6210.40.1500 (Garment - 0% duty). But the tariff code used in the Kastam receipt is 8481.20.200 (Copper pipe -25% duty) which is totally irrelevant. Hence I concluded that some idiots tried to make me pay extra duty by misusing the tariff code.

Made a complain to FedEx, told them that I'm not their typical stupid consumers who don't understand anything about import/export duties. Sent in all the proof and they finally refunded me the duties that I've paid.

Lesson here is, when you're being taxed, make sure you check all the documentations/receipts etc - make sure everything is valid and make sense. And to avoid any further troubles, make sure your seller/shipper declare properly in their CIF forms.

Hi. Noob here when it comes to buying from another country. Wondering if someone can help shed some light here. If I am to buy a mobile phone worth rm2400 from S.Korea, do I need to pay any tax/duties at all? I've checked on the HS code (8517120000 - I believe this is the code) and the rate is 0% under AKFTA. Does this mean no extra tax/charges and can pass thru kastam?

Appreciate if any experts here can help to clarify. Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I’ve got a Nintendo Switch and two pairs of sneakers to be sent from a friend in Australia. Will there still be a risk of getting taxed even if I declare it below RM500 as a gift/personal used items? Will unwrap the packaging of these items and pretend that’s used items.

I’ve checked on DHL website and it requires commercial invoice as it says Malaysian Custom no longer accept proforma invoice. How do I provide a commercial invoice for something used or personal though?
