Watches are subjected to GST charges. If your item been held you will be taxed

haiz , malaysia custom broker is see mood
same product same declaration

one give 6% another give 26%

malaysia memang boleh

If you are sure which HS code to use for your product you can actually tell them to use that instead of the other one (if only you dont need to pay that much tax)

so true lah

lol
basically i got legal invoice from korea + AK form ( for exemption tax) and tariff code cannot change because korea exporter cannot lie on the code ,
but then when reach malaysia
for example
JAN 2015
April 2015

Jan indian officer , honest and very nice to talk and follow law is by right 10% sales tax , or 6% GST after april

but April , this malay officer , remove exemption and not include AK form when assess my things and simply say 26% must pay , else u cant take ur stock

i have no choice but to pay it ....

basically it is same product , same tariff code ,almost same amount and almost same quantity , but different assessment officer

the next week after i complain to MITI about this , MITI ask me check with CUSTOM diraja malaysia

so i went to CUSTOM diraja malaysia , what they told me kuasa assessment officer is higher than them WTF
although they got the tariff fix by law

assessment officer still can assess the things bases on their preferences

that is why i say MALAYSIA BOLEH

Only certain products are exempted when you are using the AK form. Check if your product fall into this category or not.

If you dont have the AK form then there is no argument there. I m sure if you have the AK Form, he wont simply tax you on the import tax are exempted (Only if you item are exempted)

melt

yeah , i ship many times already , already triple check every time , exporter also checked already , else they wont simply give out that AK form
my tariff 3926.90.900 ( others - plastic phone casing ) -non leather
without AK 20% duty
with AK is exemption

attached is some of the proof

different officer give different assessment rate @@

when I go pusat mel & kurier , I have to go counter 1 (unit pertanyaan ) and get a slip, then , we go to collect our things from tahanan side , after that we go to checking department to open the box for checking , after that back to counter 1 ( unit pertanyaan ) to generate initial assessment slip for the penolong kanan to sign, normally penolong kanan will sign it because the assistance in counter 1 already do pre-checking on the invoice.

so this assistance generate the form and told me i am exempted from paying 20% tax as usual , so i take this slip and go to the place where we open the box and pass to the officer there , after that the officer will pass to this penolong kanan to sign for approval before we pay it.

So , the funny things is this penolong kanan ask me go inside his room personally and tell me tons of reason i am not exempted bla bla bla , maybe i thought it is april and GST stuff , so there is change of law , so i got nothing to say , and i also notice he take out that AK form and dont want to chop it , luckily my exporter got include extra copy for me to keep. after that he strike out the exemption part and tell me to pay 26% , i can choose not to pay , but my stock will be held in there, it is because i travel very far and i need the things urgently, so i have no choice but to pay it and do aduan later on.

After that i come out from this penolong kanan officer room , i go back to counter 1 and make payment , then this siti rahidah assistance was in shock
why he do that , it was supposed to be exempted. After I told her whole incident , she told me something not right and she took a photocopy of my AK form and all legal invoice , she say she want to keep it to protect her from being frame by this penolong kanan.She also told me the penolong kanan is their superior , whatever he say they cannot do anything to change it . So i just pay it , and collect my stock.

So the next week , i called my exporter to check on my AK eligibility , they told me GST just replace the current sales tax , and import duty is almost all already exempted by 2015 , and 2016 is definitely everything 0% from korea. For 2015 , only certain sensitive item is exclude from import duty and phone casing ( plastic ) is definitely no import duty if use AK form . In singapore , brunei , indo etc phone casing ( plastic ) is definitely all exempted using AK form from korea.

So I called MITI , Ministry Of Trade to explain the whole incident, they also told me the same things , korea and japan is strict on this and wont simply give out AK form for exportation. But they told me best to report this to custom department.

So next i called custom depart , forward me here and there , and all dont have good knowledge on ASEAN trade agreement, the customer service ask me back APA itu AK form ? , kita ada agreement with korea ker ? I tak faham la , encik
I was laughing and pissed at the same time. Since im nt far away from putrajaya , i went to the relevant tariff department and tell them the whole incident....

There is one officer who have knowledge on this and they told us that the tariff system has not been updated since 2013 , and mostly still use back 2013 tariff due to lazy to update it and not much changes, but for AK its varies from each year depend on agreement, but definitely now is closed to agreement ending year , impossible the exemption is still 20% which is the tariff without using AK form, it is useless to issue AK form if the tariff do not have discount rate. And he told me that penolong kanan kuasa quite big and is consider above him, he cannot do anything but to give me advise on me ONLY .

He told me i can lodge a report and he say mostly that money cant be get back already or a will get a long delay refund because if u choose to pay that time , mean I already agree with the custom broker assessment already.

I also ask him why the tariff is fix , the custom broker still can change it or modify it ? He told me it is up to the customer broker because he got his own reason to assess based on multiple reason. They can give 0% tax as well , which we call it duit KOPI. All assessment invoice is generate manually by the officer. ==

what he told me is next time is, try to avoid that officer , or choose not to pay first and lodge a complain , but it will a bit troublesome as i need to travel to KLIA multiple time.

Again , MALAYSIA IS BOLEHLAND

Attached is two example of my shipment
one is JAN , one is April

Jan total invoice including shipping fees is RM3158.99
April total invoice including shipping fees is RM2498.56

and April tax is higher than JAN by 16% what a joke

Alright now I understand. I thought you dont have the AK Form at the first place. Thanks for sharing your detail info.

Yes I do agree with the BOLEHLAND in Malaysia. Once you paid the tax you wont be able to get it back unless you have the patient to follow up etc. It took me a year + for the last claim that I made. It was really a tedious job.
If you are importing a lot then I would suggest you take the guy advise avoid that officer. You can file a complaint against that officer but from my experience it will only do more harm to yourself rather than him unless you have big shot supporting you.

yeah you are definitely right , if i do complain he sure pissed at me and something might happened to my shipment in the future , they told , one month at least got 5-8 different broker on duty on shift , normally one broker only work for 2-3 days , so i can avoid that officer easily. I guess many big company is doing it under the table , because everytime i go there , i saw big lorry going thru the restricted area and get their large cargo shipment without paying anything

the putrajaya custom department is consider quite friendly and honest in giving me advise , many things he just ask me bear with it because this is malaysia i also understand how the fireworks can be shipped in after he explain a loophole to me LOL

another knowledge i gain from them is on GST , the current GST 6% replacing existing 10% sales tax is actually will lower down the price a lot , especially those Samsung LG electric appliances that has AK form is fully exempted for any duty and that 6% GST can claim back if merchant register as GST merchant , so basically it is importing at 0% tax free rate
Many consumer are still not aware of this , and many merchant simply raise up the price because of GST .

Bottom line BOlehland apo pun boleh.. the officer working on your case is Judge, Jury, and Executioner...

Tablet pc from China cost less than rm500 Need pay tax? I hope I get reply

Just To Make Sure I Am Buying Some Computer Components From US Like Motherboard Proccesor and so on... Total Of The Price Is $465 Shipping Is Around 100 USD Will I Get Taxed is Computer Components Taxable? When Reaches Malaysia Do I Need to pay any extra charges to Custom?

No Tax For items Under 500 I bought many items from China all below 500 ringgit no tax

Can anyone verify this statement of this courier service in its home page? - http://4pxtr.taobao.com/

English translate as below:

Due to the recent Malaysian customs consumption tax adjustment, since April 1, goods arriving at the customs clearance will be on 100% inspection, if the package is worth more than RM300 or weigh more than 10KG, will produce the following taxes:

1.EDI charge RM30.00

2.Handling charge RM20.00

3.Duty and Tax if any

4.6% GST for the above charges.

5.6% GST for the CIF value

Is this applied to all imported goods (including individual purchase), or it only applies to imported goods from China (or just the delivery of this courier)?

I hope that this is just a false statement.

I dont think so cuz I bought cosmetics item less than 500 but they deemed my parcel value at 700 therefore I got taxed

I say hardly not that your item definitely have no chance of being taxed. If you can provide the invoice of your item and the shipping charges you can actually talk to them.

the shipping notice (or whatever it's called) on the parcel should have specified the value rite?

Yes they have but I received the official receipt from customs and they were using some abbreviation that I dont really understand. Basically ived been taxed around 13% since my parcel value is leas than 500.

The invoice was provided on the top of the box so i guess it wasnt my lucky day. I received the parcel exactly 2 days after GST being implemented so....
