KonKam .. my set is a 18V NiCad set. Do you have any recommendations for the battery customisers ? I can't change to Ni-MH or Li-Ion because my charger would not charge the new battery chemistry.

Kherel77 .. I was just wondering what is the tax calculation like if someone bring it in via KLIA/KLIA2 and get tax. Would the Customs take the flight ticket price as Shipping cost as CIF ?

Just saw your question. Sorry, I not sure if using about this...

30% Import duty + 6% GST for most cable type....

Total cost of my item is usd1185. So I have to pay about 36% which mean about rm2000. How if I tell supplier to fake the price? Like about usd 500. will I get lower tax fee? Sorry for my English.

That's not the correct way to calculate total duty & import. Refer my post earlier regarding duty & tax calculation.

Good luck with that even-though i'm not recommend it...
1. Customs know average pricing for all item, and they have reference for item pricing from their surveyor.
2. It will trigger Customs curiosity when it's bulk item but with low price.

But, in the end..it's up to you to try the risk...

Thanks. But how if shipping via dhl? I heard dhl provide to take care of custom tax. Of course I need to pay to them too. But will it be lower or higher? And how to pay and payment methods. You know about this?

Do not take it wrongly. Yes, DHL will take care the declaration procedures with Customs (all courier agent also will do this) but they can't decide to decrease or increase the taxes. It's all up to Customs. The trick is you split the shipment until the CIF price of each shipmet is not exceed RM500, then you can claim duty/tax exempted under Customs Duties Exemption Order 1988 Item#172:
You can opt cash on delivery with DHL.

Aduh, received letter saying that my parcel from hong kong has been detained by customs. Just some cosmetic products that I bought from Sasa.com (Hong Kong) during the Singles Day Sale. Nape xkasi lepas oie....

Hi all, appreciate it if anyone could shed some light.
Will I be taxed for buying a telescope from UK, use FedEx?

Tariff Code 9005.80 000 which carry 0% Import duty, 6% GST

Thank you kherel77! Appreciate your help!!
I'm going to proceed!

Hi. If let's say I buy a car chemical product in liquid from taobao. Will I get taxed by custom? Thanks.

Hi. I am planning to buy sports accessory/equipment in bulk through alibaba. It is made of leather. Will I get taxed and if so, by how much? Thanks in advance.

Called up custom line and they asked for HS code. Asked supplier for HS code and supplier said there isn't one.

Hi all. Wanna ask, if buy toys (action figures) oversea and kena kastam tahan coz exceed RM 500, do I pay only 6% GST or 6% GST + 10% tax for toys?

I've been asking around and different ppl told different thing.

hi people out there, wanna ask, if i import Dell Alienware Alpha (pc desktop console) from USA by the help of my fren. When it reaches Malaysia, will there be any duty or tax or gst imposed? how to calculate that?

In fact I already Google a lot and still can't get a correct answer. I am totally new and really intend to import this device from USA.

In terms of international shipping, what courier service company is recommended? Secure, safe and budget wise. Thanks.

Do refer to this website. http://tariff.customs.gov.my/

If you search with the keyword "toys", you will find tariff code with the header 8504 and 9503 (I am not sure which one is action figures categorized under exactly, but should be either one). No import duty for those. So 6% GST should be imposed if you declared it correctly

Most of the computer parts do not have custom duty imposed (only GST) so I suppose full set desktops are the same.

Source: http://tariff.customs.gov.my/ header 8471 - Comprising in the same housing at least a central processing unit and an input and output unit, whether or not combined

You will want to consider DHL/FEDEX to ship it over, based on my past purchase DHL has been really swift in both custom clearance and delivery. Not to mention its superb phone support which caters to your request accordingly. Do note that DHL will charge additional RM50 handling for custom clearance and the freight charge is higher.

so u mean on top of the gst charged by our local custom, dhl or even fedex will most probably charge me additional rm50 for them. which is another rm50 add in?

how about computer hardware parts like ram, ssd? also just 6% of gst?

Yeah they call it custom clearing fee, or something like that. GST 6% + additional RM50. I don't know if FedEx has it imposed or not
