Hi guys, if I want to import chemicals for photography, film developer etc, do I need to have approval from the Chemistry Dept? Even for personal use?

If I buy R/C Helicopter or Plan from oversea, do I need to pay tax on them? How much usually?

less than RM500 won't be taxed for sure, even though it is categorized as a taxable item.
so every time when u purchase something overseas just ask the shipper/seller to declare value cheaper than RM500 to get away from tax.

want to ask, why import toys for personal use need tax 10% as sales tax??
and i heard that only courier service have the exception for tax under 500 myr...is thattrue?

If import toy doll/figure worth around US$400, what are the charges, yeah? Item sent by USPS and now detained by kastam. They ask to bring invoice and go to LCCT Pos Malaysia to pay and collect. Ask them how much I've been taxed, but they cannot say. Shipper say got put amount on the box so why ask me to bring an invoice? And if it's usually 10% for toys, why couldn't they just say that? Thinking of just appointing their Pos Malaysia agent to deal with it and pay the RM50 for handling rather than go to LCCT.

Advice?

yeap 10 % . they scare you cheated, just like what i kena. gotta bring my paypal slip for them. Maybe cause of Christmas? usually won't get block

But if I am appointing a pos Malaysia person as my agent to collect the item, then they still need to collect invoice from me? Damn pai seh man... I am trying to book an agent with kastams now also they never pick up the call. Lol!

I too experienced the same problem. Have been buying toys from overseas years and it is the first time for me to ken a custom withholding my toy. Was asked by pos Malaysia to pay rm50 to claim the toy on behalf. That itself has not even counted the tax charge. The value of the toy is usd258. So, if 10% tax charge is applied, then I have to fork out another rm100... Damn!

Added on December 14, 2011, 10:25 pmDo you think by engaging outsider other than pos Malaysia can 'persuade' the tax charge to be waived? Sure pos Malaysia won't ask for any discount since they charged back to back to us.

HI , could anyone tell.
I have brought a EVGA Graphic from e-bay.
WHICH cause me 1999.99 USD.
Will I be tax ?

Wait for the ransom

put warranty item value 50, if u put 1999, die

for usd1999, my guess is 99% will be taxed.

does anyone have any experiences with importing books? Im thinking of getting a few from amazon but it sums up to RM1.2k! How many percent will I need to pay for duty?

If i'm not mistaken, books are tax-free... just make sure it's not prohibited reading material.
but if the total is >rm500, no guarantee of no tax...
