hi people out there, wanna ask, if i import Dell Alienware Alpha (pc desktop console) from USA by the help of my fren. When it reaches Malaysia, will there be any duty or tax or gst imposed? how to calculate that?

In fact I already Google a lot and still can't get a correct answer. I am totally new and really intend to import this device from USA.

In terms of international shipping, what courier service company is recommended? Secure, safe and budget wise. Thanks.

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.

so u mean on top of the gst charged by our local custom, dhl or even fedex will most probably charge me additional rm50 for them. which is another rm50 add in? shakehead.gif

how about computer hardware parts like ram, ssd? also just 6% of gst?

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

so since mine is a computer which has radio capabilities, i m sure if bad luck enough, they will tahan my item and ask me to apply SIRIM. usually how much it costs for that? how should i do that?
