wanted to buy SSD from amazon, how much is the import duty??

so since mine is a computer which has radio capabilities, i m sure if bad luck enough, they will tahan my item and ask me to apply SIRIM. usually how much it costs for that? how should i do that?

Should be 6% GST if cif (cost+insurance+freight) > RM500. No import duty

I'm not really sure about that, but sirim for phones was RM100 up to 3 phones few months back

thanks~

Just received some stuff from Amazon (total of MYR1800) couple of hours ago, its a non dutiable goods and was expecting to be charge on 6% gst but didn't pay any fees when received the items

Did you use amazon shipping or 3rd party freight forwarding company such as Comgateway? That's really lucky

AmazonGlobal Expedited Shipping (Aramex handles international shipping for Amazon.com now). Yeah lucky and I got another shipment otw, see whether this one charge or not

Can anyone please advise on below:

CIF
C-Cost of imported product
I- Shipment insurance
F - Freight cost

My question, the F portion is as per actual freight/shipping cost or calculated as per government "jadual kos tambang bagi dagangan"?

Thanks in advance.

Incoterms (EXW, FCA, FAS, FOB, etc....) is only trade's transportation contract/mode between seller & buyer. It doesn't effect with Customs duty/tax calculation.
"Jadual kos tambang bagi dagangan" use in Customs duty/tax calculation is fix by IATA rate worldwide. They use terms CIF for it because it is mostly standard freight terms use in cross-border trade.

Hi all, good day.

I would like to buy a road bike (made in Taiwan) from Singapore, it cost about S$3500, I will buy then bring it into Jb through Jb checkpoint by using my car.

May I know do I need to pay the 6% GST or/and import tax (bike's origin is from Taiwan) as well?

Is there any black and white sorces states the duty breakdown or descriptions?

Thanks in advance. Have a nice day all...

Bike is motorbike or bicycle? Refer my previous post below for bicycle. It only 1 time import duty/tax (Malaysia's entrance) only. Doesn't matter where is the origin.

Thanks bro kherel77, that's a bicycle.
How to clarify that its consider as "RACING BICYCLE" or "OTHER THAN ABOVE"? Or where can I see the code?

Thanks again.

And I have this book as well for my job references:



Not too sure how they classified racing or others. Maybe depend on the items catalog itself to prove it's racing bicycle, otherwise it will fall under 'others' category.

*Edit: Origin (invoicing country) is matter as Customs use it to get freight rate. So if your invoice is from SG, freight rate will be cheaper compare if you declare it from Taiwan (using Taiwan invoice).

guys, i bought a laptop from amazon last week and now customs holding my laptop. it seems now we must have license to import any stuff with wifi,3g, etc.. see attached image and pdf or click on the link below for the pdf doc from skmm.

http://www.skmm.gov.my/Mobile/Tools/ViewTe...264&type=notice

its just one laptop.. thinkpad USD 850++ , for personal use also now must apply import license?

UPS said they cant help, but a lady from ups department gave me a mobile contact number of an agent who can help get license and get my laptop. i called the guy, and he said his fees is something like license fees rm150 and plus rm150 for his service charge. damnnnn...

i dont mind to pay gst, but now have to pay gst + license and stuff?

any sifu's can recommend me what to do now?? amazon offered to get the item back and refund me back, but i really want the laptop.

what would be the fastest way to get my laptop?? my tracking shows the item is at warehouse in sepang... im not sure if its at the customs in sepang or is it UPS in sepang.

please advise, thank you.

Hi Kherel, thank for your professional advise.
For example, if now i plan to import a some goods from China to Malaysia and I am hiring some shipping agent, then all the taxes and duty will be settled by shipping agent?
Sorry for my innocent

They will process/pay to Customs for duties/taxes (if any) on behalf of you & of coz you have to pay them back.

10Q...really appreciate your advise

It depends too. If you appointed yourself for custom clearance, or you refused to pay them, they wouldn't clear it for you

I get it, but I dont want to make myself busy, so i plan to take the door to door servise from the agent

I want to buy smart phone from China less than rm500. Do I need to pay custom tax?
