i think it depends on the items, if it's taxable, then the custom officers will tax you but as a general rule, items <rm500 will not be taxed unless the custom officers think it's under-declared. nowadays, they are expert in detecting these, especially when the items are branded goods.

does anyone have any experiences with importing books? Im thinking of getting a few from amazon but it sums up to RM1.2k! How many percent will  I need to pay for duty?
*
If i'm not mistaken, books are tax-free... just make sure it's not prohibited reading material.
but if the total is >rm500, no guarantee of no tax...

Just to share..

I received my package from UK..via Royal Mail..the retailer sent them on the 15th Dec..so i guess it's pretty fast.

I bought clothings worth 170 pounds (RM800+)..was worried that it might get taxed but the retailer was smart enough to write the value as 30 pounds..or maybe i'm just lucky.

Good luck to everyone on our parcels!

wow.. Good for you. btw, din realise royal mail is this fast.

Hi everyone, I'm planning to do some shopping in overseas for branded bags~Will I be taxed for that? Say about RM3,000 worth per item. Thank you!
*
most probably.
in fact, >rm500, high chances of getting taxed...

depending on how you declare the items, also on the custom officer. If you are lucky u don't get taxed.

Toys - 10% sales tax.

Read through the posts...

I want to ask...

If the items that I am importing are<RM500, CONFIRM 100% no tax or MAYBE got tax but lower chances?

Also baby items confirmed 100% no tax?
*
generally speaking, items < rm500, usually no tax (no guarantee though cuz it's up to the custom officer's decision). However if u import branded goods like coach bag and declare < rm500, they will suspect and open ur box for inspection. Also if your parcel is big, higher chance of getting taxed. these are from experiences, may or may not apply in all situations.

Some of the baby items are taxable, like walker/stroller etc, but i do know no tax will be imposed upon baby food.
If you want to make sure whether it's taxable, u can check through this website --> tariff

hope it helps.
