What if they really do? We would get penalized right

At present, imported goods are subject to import duty and sales tax unless exempted. Under GST, imported goods will still be subject to import duty but sales tax will be replaced with GST. As to whether the imported goods will be cheaper or more expensive will depend on a number of factors besides the GST rate.

I applied epermit and got it within 2 business days. Could've gotten it in just one business day but I think the one who was responsible for my epermit was too lazy (I called them multiple times)

Do refer to this website. http://tariff.customs.gov.my/

If you search with the keyword "toys", you will find tariff code with the header 8504 and 9503 (I am not sure which one is action figures categorized under exactly, but should be either one). No import duty for those. So 6% GST should be imposed if you declared it correctly

Most of the computer parts do not have custom duty imposed (only GST) so I suppose full set desktops are the same.

You will want to consider DHL/FEDEX to ship it over, based on my past purchase DHL has been really swift in both custom clearance and delivery. Not to mention its superb phone support which caters to your request accordingly. Do note that DHL will charge additional RM50 handling for custom clearance and the freight charge is higher.

Yeah they call it custom clearing fee, or something like that. GST 6% + additional RM50. I don't know if FedEx has it imposed or not

Should be 6% GST if cif (cost+insurance+freight) > RM500. No import duty

I'm not really sure about that, but sirim for phones was RM100 up to 3 phones few months back

Did you use amazon shipping or 3rd party freight forwarding company such as Comgateway? That's really lucky

It depends too. If you appointed yourself for custom clearance, or you refused to pay them, they wouldn't clear it for you

It will be taxed @ 6% GST. Don't forget to add on freight+insurance charges to the cost.

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

If everything is declared correctly, you will be taxed at [Cost of item + Freight (shipping) charges + Insurance (sometimes insurance is included in the shipping charges already)] x 0.06 for GST.

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

6% GST if unlucky, if lucky no GST as you have already paid custom tax deposit upfront to Amazon.

Don't know bout tax on second hand books; on the other hand 22 books each weighing 500-1kg will cost you a bill shock on CGW shipping fees!

GST. Smartwatch? SIRIM as it is a bluetooth device

Yes only pay GST. No import duty for regular watch You appointed courier company would usually pay GST on behalf and charge you the amount they paid + service charge, unless you have chosen other option for custom clearance
