Sorry noob question. Does this mean I don't have to pay any tax to kastam if I buy items from Amazon ? (Even expensive items up to RM1000-2000)? Amazon will settle it ?

Hey guys

I checked the http://tariff.customs.gov.my/ web site. I tried to search for toys. I see two entry for the code 8504. One states 5% Tax and the other states NIL .. What does this mean?


I wanna buy the toys in the picture below. Which code should I use ? It is quite small. Probably the size of a cup.

Oh okay. Thanks for the info! Didn't know about this. That would be very convenient since we don't have to deal with kastam.

Hey brothers,

I read like thirty pages in this topic, thanks kherel for the deep explanation on calculating the taxes based on the CIF value & IATA rates.

1) Does anyone know what's the HS code for console games (e.g. PS4/PC games)? I can't seem to find it.

2) I tried to search for video game console (e.g. PS4/Xbox machine). There is some result BUT doesn't show a code and any value for the import rate. Does this mean its 0% tax?

Thanks kherel. I got the same result but I would like to ask how did you get the 10% SST figure?

If you see the result below under PDK 2017, The column for "IMPORT RATE" and "SST" is blank on the customs page. I assume blank would mean 0% for both import duty and SST?


I have a second question if you don't mind. Do you know what's the HS code for console games? (e.g. PS4/PC/XBOX games). Basically console games on disc.

Thanks kherel, I get it now! I thought I have to refer to the portion highlighted in red which has blank columns. Silly me

Hi Kherel.

I'm trying to find the HS code for virtual reality headsets. Items such as Oculus VR, Playstation VR, Samsung VR. Just wondering if u know?

Do you refer to a file list where we can find the HS codes easily based on item? Finding the HS code through the customs web site seems a bit hard.

I see, damn the book is expensive lol.
