Hi Dreamworkz, i just got taxed for the first time buying computer parts, need your expertise and experiences. Hope you can help me.

firstly, may i know the code in http://tariff.customs.gov.my/ for computer parts, cannot find any computer related...

And, here my case, the items i bought is total around RM 750 include Fedex postage, it is computer SATA controller cards, from http://www.addonics.com/. but the seller declared as vague description as "control or adapter unit for automatic data processing machines" and caused custom to put it under electronic. Even though i already ask the seller to declared as computer parts earlier on.
And it taxes me RM 270 which is already 30% plus.....

So, i would like to know if it taxable? if not, what can i do to cancel the tax?

Thank you.


update (1):
- my item was taxed with tarif code is 8537.10.900 , which is "chapter 85- electrical machinery and equipment and part thereof sound recorders and reporducers, television images...." . Way off what the items is.
- called Fedex clearance center. wait for them to open the packages and check as told...

The Fedex called me, after some talks, Fedex tell me that they was try to declare as 8471, but it is Custom that change to 8537 because of the word "control". They also tell me that if i want to claim again, i need to pay them first, then go to Custom to complaint, is it true?
Couldnt i go to custom first before paying? Because i afraid pay mean i agree already, and they will not do anything later.
