At present, imported goods are subject to import duty and sales tax unless exempted. Under GST, imported goods will still be subject to import duty but sales tax will be replaced with GST. As to whether the imported goods will be cheaper or more expensive will depend on a number of factors besides the GST rate.

Since import duty and sales tax will be imposed when value declaration is over RM500 currently, does it mean this also works on gst too? As long as your parcel from oversea doesn't tax by import duty and you don't have to pay gst as well?

As far as I experienced before, Computer Component or like my Laptop which I purchased overseas and shipped through DHL, I wasn't being charged but that was years ago. How about with the coming GST?

Since there isn't any import tax nor sales tax, probably no GST taxable as well?

How about this Caldigit Thunderbolt Station 2, cost around RM700+, will it be tax? Thanks

these two docs should be very useful...

Hi there,

Where can i check whether the item i import from China will have import tax and what will be the tax amount???

Before 1 April 2015:
Any shipment above RM500 (include freight and insurance), will kena import duty and sales tax (if any). For computer stuffs, previously 0% duty and 0% sales tax, therefore no tax on computers regardless of the price.

After 1 April 2015:
Any shipment above RM500 (include freight and insurance), will kena import duty and GST (almost confirm kena). For computer stuffs, 0% duty and 6% GST, therefore price of computer stuffs will increase 6%.

Thanks for the info.

Any ideas on the tax if want to import baby disposable diapers from China, cause the government say, there are no GST for diapers.

hi.. what if item include shipping is less than Rm200? will kena anything? Let's say its a handbag.

As long as below RM500 (cost of goods + shipping + insurance), you don't get taxed.

i'm buying 2 toys from japan, total cost is rm 950. so im gonna ship them separately @ RM475 each. im safe from tax right?

if that rm475 includes shipping cost, etc, then yes, you're "safe".

May I know if I were to buy 50 pairs of shoes from taiwan, will I be taxed? The shoes are NTD 950 per pairs.

From my experience your item will most probably be taxed if its a bulky item.

Small item(value exceed RM500) hardly get taxed as that doesnt attract them to take a look on the item itself.

Do you know the procedures?

What kind of procedures do you want to know? If you mean how custom works sorry cant help on this as I dont work in there. The info I have given were just my experience on my items itself. If you want to know how to do clearance for your item then I can share some.

Thank you very much.

Watches still no tax right? If I buy watch from Japan cost around Rm800 .. will it be taxed?
