Hi fellow sifus here, got a question regarding custom duty. My item imported from US after conversion to RM791.30 (with invoice) and I was slapped with a 30% importy duty. But there's a statement there stating items of value below RM800 are exempted.

Can I dispute it? How should I do it?
Please help...

What dispute you want to raise? It's already exempted. You only have to pay the GST RM47.48

Yes that's what my friend told me too, exempted for import duty and only charged with GST.
Problem is I appointed Pos Malaysia to clear the item, and they are now charging me the import duty+GST+clearance handling fee.

Dealing with Pos Malaysia staff is really hell.
In this case, can I bypass Pos Malaysia and clear the item myself at KLIA using this form from Kastam?

Better deal with Pos Malaysia first.
Tell them that you will ONLY pay base on Customs Official Receipt + handling fees. They can't charge you if they didn't paid the import duties to Customs. K1 Form is not official as it's only draft for submission to Customs by Pos Malaysia. Amount in the Official Receipt should be match with total amount after exempted in K1 Form ( RM47.48). Below Official Receipt sample from mine...

Check details in Receipt as AWB#, Tariff Code must match your K1 Form details they given previously.

Thanks for the advice.
All this while I'm thinking this K1 form is prepared by Kastam declaring my item is exempted. Didn't know it is prepared by Pos Malaysia.
I used this K1 form and argued with the Pos Malaysia officer and manager for quite a while, finally they reissue another form instructing me to pay GST and handling fee only. biggrin.gif
