does anyone have any experiences with importing books? Im thinking of getting a few from amazon but it sums up to RM1.2k! How many percent will I need to pay for duty?

|

Awesome Thanks theres like 22 of the books there and its like RM1.5k+shipping fees ofcourse T_T

those books are for personal use and they are all different!

I guess ill be pressing the button tonight lol

Hey guys! My books arrived.. Can see that customs opened up the Box I guess because its huge and heavy.

No tax Books are awesome!

As long as it is a road bike

A bicycle with drop bars

They will classified under racing bike

Friends have purchased bikes from overseas and only paid the 6% gst
Cheers!

Hello thinking of getting sneakers from abroad...

The import duty rate for importing sneaker into Malaysia is 0% , the import GST is 6%, when classified under Shoes & Footwear → Men | sports footwear & sneakers → Sneakers, Trainers & Athletic Shoes with Rubber Upper with HS commodity code 6402.99.000

So for casual sneakers is this the right code?

If so it'll be great Haha

Thanks!

Dear all

Recently I bought a shoe from overseas and it came with free shipping

What I dont understand was the customs assumed the shipping price and put rm380 as from the picture below...

Can I argue with FEDEX and asked them to return my taxable amount?

The shoes costs only at RM390

I think it will be 30% (or maybe 25%) tax + 6% GST to import MTB frames..

Haha even if you added the wheels they could tell the difference between an rb and mtb..

Btw the cheapest option for you would be sending it to Singapore.. Pay the 7% and go collect it by car

*Found the answer
