Thinking of bring 48 LCD tv from Singapore. I am wandering how much i going to be tax.

It about S$1.3K compare to Malaysia about RM4-5K
*
It shouldnt be taxed as it's only a pc, but it is subject to hand carry out thru the checkpoint e.g. (by car,bus).
If its by parcel or shipping, then u'll be taxed about 10% and a Sirim & Energy of Commision approval is required... smile.gif

wah.. nice thread! very informative! I been wondering and waiting for my car's rear light assembly to arrive. Won a bid on Ebay about 1 weeks ago. Now kinda worried about the tax & duties. Its used item, classic car part crazy price selling in Malaysia. At least double! So no choice got to grab from USofA. total price & shipping around US$ 150 which is roughly RM 450 plus minus la...  Been trying to use the http://tariff.customs.gov.my/ but I think my keywords are not correct. I cannot seem to find any info. Any tips on how to use it (the website)?

Useful thread. let me give my experience with the local kastam.

Digital Camera and lenses : imported a few already from US, UK. None were taxed. There was only once it was held in KLIA customs, but went there to open in front of the customs officer, confirm no tax, only need to pay a RM18 fee (#($*&#*&^&&$#)

iPhone : no tax confirm, but you will need to go to apply for GSM permit from Sirim in Shah Alam. RM100 for a permit of 3 same models. (Must only be used in the same shipping, means you cannot buy 3 from different buyers)

Need some advice here. I saw on the 1st page that leather bags are import tax free with 10% sales tax. But the thread has not been updated since it was created on Nov 11 2008. Are any changes to this ruling?

What is the tax if my purchases (RM) are:

1) RM 432

and

2) RM 1,440
*
The Taxes level are still the same as of today, no changes (10%) frm value

i think it depends on the items, if it's taxable, then the custom officers will tax you but as a general rule, items <rm500 will not be taxed unless the custom officers think it's under-declared. nowadays, they are expert in detecting these, especially when the items are branded goods.

You got the momentum smile.gif, btw the Officers incharge are not those dumb, they have gone thru several process of ' HOW TO JUDGE TO PRODUCT VALUE" there are given training before recruitment by the KDN (kementerian dalam negeri). So they are not "fools" nor could cheat smile.gif

QUOTE(gl7 @ Oct 25 2011, 01:51 PM)
Hi Dreamworkz, i just got taxed for the first time buying computer parts, need your expertise and experiences. Hope you can help me.

firstly, may i know the code in http://tariff.customs.gov.my/ for computer parts, cannot find any computer related...

And, here my case, the items i bought is total around RM 750 include Fedex postage, it is computer SATA controller cards, from http://www.addonics.com/. but the seller declared as vague description as "control or adapter unit for automatic data processing machines" and caused custom to put it under electronic. Even though i already ask the seller to declared as computer parts earlier on.
And it taxes me RM 270 which is already 30% plus.....

So, i would like to know if it taxable? if not, what can i do to cancel the tax?

Thank you.
update (1):
- my item was taxed with tarif code is 8537.10.900 , which is "chapter 85- electrical machinery and equipment and part thereof sound recorders and reporducers, television images...." . Way off what the items is.
- called Fedex clearance center. wait for them to open the packages and check as told...
*
Hi there,

My personal advise, get Fedex to examine the goods and let the Officers to verify on the classification, based on my experience this should go under direct code of "Other units of automatic data processing machines" 8471800000 = FREE Taxes & Duty
If necessary go your self and clarify to the officers, its the best thumbup.gif
