my friend just bought a keyboard got taxed 25% close to 100++

supposed to be tax free right?
*
Should be tax free according to the HS Code (recheck it @ http://tariff.customs.gov.my).. some customs officer is corrupt enough, like to imposes tax to the items that are not taxable...most important you need to know exact HS Code for the items you like to import.

The thing is razer uses FEDEX, they didn't hold the item but imposed the tax. Could it be because it exceeded the RM500 threshold?
*
Maybe the Fedex courier used by your friend has uses wrong HS Code, because not all computer related equipments/accessories are tax free, you may ask M'sia customs via email (ccc@customs.gov.my (Monday to Friday)), they will give you exact explaination.

want to ask, since it happen to me on import on watches
if really kena tax on wrong non taxable item, can we get refund?
*
I think yes.. but if possible, ask your shipper to enter the right HS Code for watches (in waybill, which customs will refer to determine whether the items is taxable or not), like I did.. HS Code for watches start with 9102.XX.XXXX, learn the HS Code first in tariff.customs.gov.my to avoid from 'kena goreng' dengan customs officer.

Hi,
can I buy battery something like link below & ship to Malaysia? Will it be tax if below RM500?

Nickel Metal Hydride battery (HS Code 8507509000) is subject to tax @ 20%+10%=30% total. No tax imposed if under RM500. If you still get taxed although it's confirmed below RM500 (price+shipping cost), you can apply for refund @ Royal Custom 'Cawangan Perakaunan Hasil'.

I just purchased 4 small items of toys (miniature railroad hobby stuff) from Japan weighing less than 300g with a total cost of JPY2960 (equivalent to MYR91) and postage of JPY900 (equivalent to MYR28) which brings the total cost on the invoice to JPY3860 (equivalent to MYR119).

What puzzles me is that I just received a call today from Customs saying that my parcel has been detained because they suspect that the contents are subject to tax.

I thought that items below the RM500 threshold are not subject to tax? Or is there some hanky-panky going on?

And if they are subject to tax, which HS Code would it fall under? Is it 9503009900/9503005000 as well?
*
sometime, toys is subjected to tax which is only 10% even it's under RM500. The HS Code maybe 9503004000 (models toys/recreational toys/others). You may call customs for clarification

Thanks! I went to have my parcel clear customs at on Friday and my items did not get taxed at all. I think it must be the item description on the customs declaration form which the seller filled in as "Model Parts" followed by product code instead of just plastic toy.  doh.gif

yes..some toys-related HS Codes is exempted from tax.. Your lucky biggrin.gif

Hi, I am ordering some badges and ties from UK, total cost (+ shipping) is around RM630 but that is due to high shipping charges. Without the shipping charges it is only RM400+.

If I get taxed by Kastam, is it a tax calculated on the entire value (RM630) or just for the items (RM400+) ??

thanks
*
tax calculated based on items value+insurance+shipping cost smile.gif
