Today I got notified that I kena customs charge for my parcel.
The total value for the items + shipping is below RM500 This is the third time I ordered stuff from taobao. Previous 2 parcels no issue I have some questions (refer to the attached pics). 1) What is EDI charges and why is it so expensive ? 2) Does this mean that every time my package get held by customs, I confirm must pay these extra charges ?   |

QUOTE(kherel77 @ Jan 6 2017, 11:10 PM) Seems your CIF value only RM298.31 which can be exempted from duty/tax (less than RM500 CIF value). Hi kherel77, thanks for your reply."Customs Duties Exemption Order 1988 Item#172: Any goods below RM500 CIF value using air courier services thru KLIA, Subang, Bayan Lepas, Senai, KK & Kuching airport will be duties/taxes exempted except cigarettes, liquors & tobaccos." EDI & handling charges is charged by your courier/forwarder company as they do the declaration for you on-behalf.  I guess its time to switch forwarders. totally not worth it anymore to buy stuff from taobao with all these extra charges. |
