hi guys, i would like to asked if I were to shipped something like a roulette wheel from US to Malaysia. Will the kastam charged me for this kind of stuff? I am thinking of getting it for my dad as a present.

Okay. So, what can we do?

Hi there, Can someone help me with a link where I can find the necessary forms for an AP for the Suruhanjaya Tenaga malaysia?

I ordered two units of ANOVA Precision cookers and they're due to arrive next Monday.

I've looked quite a bit on the website but can't find the necessary link for the documents.

Did you manage to get your items past customs? There's no easy way around it my friend.

Hi guys, I just received my parcels from DHL but was charged an unexpected amount of RM200 for import duties.

Apparently customs decided to rate my items based on "market value" instead of the amount I bought. Is this normal? Can I claim back the duties if I presented my original invoice from Amazon? I called DHL but the person on the line said no.

hi just wanna ask if importing food ingredients into malaysia will get taxed? ( considering if its over rm500 )

Sorry for bringing out this old post. I've into purchasing trading cards lot too recently and thought I'd share my experience here.

Just moments ago I received an email from the JB custom officer charging me a whopping RM340 for tax including the poslaju agent fee of RM49.50. FYI, the total value of my items is only RM964 or 31500 yen with CIF. Strangely though, they quoted for RM145 last weekend and agreed to send to the nearest PosLaju branch which I'm supposed to receive today. What a change of tide to receive another email from them quoting me with an even more expensive price

Such unfortunate because I can't refund the lots and might have to pay the tax wholly. My first time experience of ordering items from commercial seller and this could be the last. Prefer to just purchase from ebay in the future.

Hi there. I've ordered items from Amazon before valued above the RM500 mark including CIF but I did not charged with any import duties or sales tax. Then again, the items I ordered are all books and I even receive the paperwork that Amazon had done attached with the parcel.

Hope you had settled this issue by now

That is certainly true. Just wondering whether there is any exception whereby even items above the RM500 mark will not be charged any any import duties fees? I've read several buyers experience which varies very much. On some occasion, some was even imposed with the import duties for items valued below the mark.

HI, sorry if this was asked before.. I received a letter from poslaju today as my leather wallet from US was held by customs. It's a gift actually..

can I have the address of the Custom's office? I would like to go there to collect personally.. I read elsewhere that it's next to lcct but wanna confirm if it's still there. Tq.

Noticed that there was alot of questions and no answers, i myself was tempted to ask a question heh, but decided to try and solve it.

For people who want to know how to ship in stuff without tax, ask your shipper to ship in as electronic calculator (847010) or cash registers (847050) 0% import tax 0% sales duty =D Assuming they dont open your package lah.

What if they really do? We would get penalized right

Risk and reward loh, you sendiri calculate lah.

If you want, can try act dumb, say your relative when send as gift, classify it wrong, and underdeclare.

Not sure if it's the right place to ask but I'm wondering in the future when gst is implemented, would it affect all imports? Does that mean I have to go and pay for gst everytime I import anything regardless of amount

hello there,can i know,make purchase pc motherboard ,cost me 1.7k..how much will be taxes?

Say I want to buy something from Amazon US after 1st April, do I have to pay gst beside the normal import duties? Does order from oversea have to pay gst?

i have some cosmetic items on hold by custom, they need the permit/notifikasi by BPFK Biro Pengawalan Farmaseutikal Kebangsaan .. how how how .... problem is i dont have registered company.

they will confiscate it... no solution...u should know u cant import cosmetic items individually

no more import duties 10%...replace by 6% GST

Import tax will be imposed if the value exceeds RM500, and how does gst work? Do you have any prove to back up this claim?
