From my experience your item will most probably be taxed if its a bulky item.

Small item(value exceed RM500) hardly get taxed as that doesnt attract them to take a look on the item itself.

I dont think so cuz I bought cosmetics item less than 500 but they deemed my parcel value at 700 therefore I got taxed sad.gif

the shipping notice (or whatever it's called) on the parcel should have specified the value rite?

Yes they have but I received the official receipt from customs and they were using some abbreviation that I dont really understand. Basically ived been taxed around 13% since my parcel value is leas than 500.

I say hardly not that your item definitely have no chance of being taxed. If you can provide the invoice of your item and the shipping charges you can actually talk to them.

The invoice was provided on the top of the box so i guess it wasnt my lucky day. I received the parcel exactly 2 days after GST being implemented so....

that's weird
beauty products with value under 500 should be tax-free
is it a huge box?
did the parcel specified that it's beauty/cosmetic product?
*
Nope not in a huge box, weight approx 1.4 kg just a few lipsticks

They used abbreviation like FOB, INS (I knw this is insurance), frt (this one also) n CIF

Yeah got cosmetics in the invoice

FOB -free on board
Frt - freight
CIF - cost freight + insurance. Tax will be calculated based on this value.
How much is your total including the shipping charges? 

If the frieght charges not in the invoice custom normally simply assume a certain value if I m not wrong. There is a few cases happen before when you use shipping company like FedEx etc

Total is RM 460++ plus shipping charges but they deemed my parcel at RM 670++
More than 200 difference. 😅

Using UPS. Luckily they only charged RM 25 for this. I know FedEx/DHL will charge more.
