Hi there. Today I went to customs near LCCT because 2 of my boxes got detained. They're KPop albums that I bought from GMarket EMS. I got taxed RM93 in total. I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to explain to me how the calculation break down is? This is my first time getting my items detained. I already showed them the invoice and everything but they still insisted on calculating it themselves.

Tariff code: 8523.29.690 (Music CD)
Quantity: 14

BOX 1: RM490.33
BOX 2: RM487.21

Both included shipping fee.

However, in the receipt it shows 1 carton RM1254.11 (RM11.03 + RM139.61 + RM1103.47). Hence, 6% GST = RM75.25 + RM18 = RM93.25

I am wondering how did the RM1254.11 came about? I hope someone will be kind enough to explain this to me. I am also wondering if I can fill in their Check with Expert form to ask them to explain about the calculation? Thank you.
