Just saw your question. Sorry, I not sure if using about this...
30% Import duty + 6% GST for most cable type....

Total cost of my item is usd1185. So I have to pay about 36% which mean about rm2000. How if I tell supplier to fake the price? Like about usd 500. will I get lower tax fee? Sorry for my English.

That's not the correct way to calculate total duty & import. Refer my post earlier regarding duty & tax calculation.
Good luck with that even-though i'm not recommend it...
1. Customs know average pricing for all item, and they have reference for item pricing from their surveyor.
2. It will trigger Customs curiosity when it's bulk item but with low price.

But, in the end..it's up to you to try the risk...  thumbup.gif

Thanks. But how if shipping via dhl? I heard dhl provide to take care of custom tax. Of course I need to pay to them too. But will it be lower or higher? And how to pay and payment methods. You know about this?

I want to buy smart phone from China less than rm500. Do I need to pay custom tax?

For phones you won't be taxed but you will be asked to provide SIRIM permit for custom clearance instead

Huh, sirim permit? How? Before or after received my item?

They will ask you for SIRIM permit once the shipment arrives at custom and pending for clearance. You may however, apply SIRIM permit in advance, and provide them (the freight company) with whatever documents to proceed for custom clearance.

I'm talking about the usual procedure required in accordance to the law, if you know jack sparow you may be able to bypass SIRIM  whistling.gif
