Hi Kherel, is it just 5% SST for a VR headset or are there other duties such as import duty or IATA TACT rates as well ?

This is my first time so please pardon my ignorance.

Thanks!

Yes, for Tariff Code 8528.52.0000 still only 5% SST.

Thank you very much!

Hi Kherel

Sorry may I please ask you for a reference or photo?!
I couldn't refer the code anywhere

because I'll be shipping through Aramex and they're usually bad at this.

Slide to the right to see duties/taxes value.

Is there a tax for smartphones? What's the tariff code?

It is confirmed to be 5% of CIF value for SST, no import tax. Tariff code is 8517120000.
Though I'm not sure how they calculate the costs for freight and insurance, in the customs tax form it states that the freight is 14 USD, but I only paid the forwarder RM20, it's not a fee that has to be paid but it does increase the CIF value.

kindly seeking seasoned buyers/importers opinion here . If i buy notebook from overseas site, such as eBay, which would inevitably cost more than RM500, would it be subject to custom tariff duty and if yes, is it 5% or 10%?

I also noticed notebook come under three tariff code

HEADER SUB ITEM UNIT DESCRIPTION OLD HS IMPORT RATE TRQ EKSPORT RATE SST EXCISE CESS 1 CESS 2 CESS 3 IMPPRO EKSPRO
8471 30 2000 UNT - - Laptops including notebooks and subnotebooks Nil Nil 5% - - - -
8507 60 1000 UNT - - Of a kind used for laptops including notebooks and subnotebooks Nil Nil 10% - - - -
8507 80 2000 UNT - - Of a kind used for laptops including notebooks and subnotebooks


Can kindly explain whats the nature of the second and third code "Of a kind used for........"" ?

Dear Sir/MS



Please be advised, no duty and tax for CIF below RM500 is based on approval from Customs officer and the item description in the shipper invoice.



Specific item such as cleaner leather and vinyl are subjected for customs inspection and will not be approve for clearance below CIF RM500.



Tried to argue with the courier why I shouldn't be paying the import duties and sales tax for CIF below RM500. No luck

Hi guys may I ask

My friend sent me a gift Apple Airtag through aramex
However they say it’s hold by custom
First of all , gift from friend kena tax ?

Secondly , since aramex is slow and I’m urgent , can I just go custom office in the old LCCT to settle myself with the custom officer ?

Hi guys, i am planning to to purchase a leather shoe from a UK website. Can i confirm whether the tariff code is 640510000? and what are the custom charges i should be expecting?

Any idea how much is import duty for instant noodles from Indonesia?

Guys, any of you have ever bought perfume and get it shipped to Malaysia?

Hi everyone, my company in singapore is planning to send laptops to malaysia for company usage. The amount of laptop to be sent here is 16 units of laptops each costing about RM3000. The DHL company told us that the custom charges may go up to 90% of the total value of the item. Is this true? If so is there a place where I can learn about this more?

Please find another reliable courier provider as they talk bullshit.
Laptop only have 5% SST. Tariff Code 8471.30.2000
