This is my first time purcashing item above RM500 and I would like to get some insight on the import duties stuff.
I am planning to purchase a hiking backpack that would cost me about RM680 + RM115 shipping. Just wondering if there would be any tax on this? If so, can I avoid it? |

QUOTE(MeToo @ May 12 2017, 11:00 AM) Tumpang. I called in to Custom and Pos Malaysia the other, my hiking bag is made of nylon and since it is above RM500, there will be only 6% GST imposed. Wanna buy a Rimowa and ship it in... not sure what's the tax bracket on luggage/bag.  Hope that helps. |

QUOTE(MeToo @ May 12 2017, 12:46 PM) Thank for the tip mate! Sure thing! Apparently, if made of different materials - was given canvas as an example - then there will be an additional 20% import duty tax. Phew!Mine will be alluminium.... Wonder whats nylon got to do with it  |

QUOTE(doinkz_gaara @ Jun 29 2017, 06:08 PM) Do you know how they determine it? Am planning to buy an Osprey Farpoint 70 from overseas as it's much cheaper, not sure if will kena the 20% anot. Should be 6% gst only. Why? I was interested with both atmos 50 ag and 55 farpoint. Which online store are you getting it from? |
