they'll check thoroughly? the tax will be the same if post from oversea ka?

Person who bring the stuff via commercial flight, usually the Kastam will not tahan if the stuff bought are in a small quantity and unwrapped. If you kena tahan also, there's no tax for phone and camera. Only GPS kena tax. While phone and GPS required you to obtain for SIRIM approval. In your case, which is personal usage. You have to apply for SIRIM Special Approval.

Thanks, I have asked them regarding the method to calculate tax and sales tax via e-mail. They reply the next working day. It is quite efficient. Anyone have queries on import tax and sales tax should ask them direct. It is quite helpful.

Hi.  Newbie here.  I hope this is the right place to ask this question.

I currently live and work Japan and want to send most of my things to Malaysia.  I'm hoping to get a job their or in Singapore in August.

I'm leaving Japan in June to go to England to do a training course in July, and then will fly to Malaysia.  I'll be sending my things to a cousin's house in Malaysia for storage.  I'm a UK citizen.

I'll be sending mostly books, clothes, a computer, monitor, snowboard, and other bits and pieces.

Nothing I have was bought within the last 6 months.

What kind of duty/taxes am I looking at?  I've emailed Malaysian Customs, and it's slow going.  I don't know what forms I need,  what the tariffs/taxes/duties are, etc.  I've asked, but as I've said, it's slow going with me emailing them, them replying, me emailing them again because they haven't been clear or haven't answered all my questions...

I've also read somewhere that I have to be in Malaysia to receive the items.  Is this true?

Also,  I'm supposed to get an Import Permit from the Energy Commission for my electrical devices.  Where do I get that from and where can I find the forms?  I can't find anything on the internet.

I will be sending my things either via a private shipping company (by sea), or via the post office (by sea/surface mail).

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

As you know there are many email in and out at Kastam. You need to fill K1 form. Yes by law, electrical devices are required to obtain Suruhanjaya Tenaga or Energy Commission approval.

i want to import a video camera from China
the size of the camera is smaller than a handphone size
no wireless and no bluetooth, just video camera only
the price is less than RM500

will I get any import duties?

Camera is tax free. As long there's no wireless connectivity, there will be no SIRIM approval. thumbup.gif

hi i am planning to import in Flexible LED. I check on the customs website that there is a sales tax 10%

what does it mean?
*
You are planning to import Flexible LED which is under HS8541. There is no import duty require. The sales tax is 10% (if the price more than RM500). The sales tax is a consumption tax charged at the point of import for certain goods. For your information, Flexible LED (and any other LED lamp are) is not a control item yet in Malaysia. For time being, it does not need any approval. If you still want to get your product approved, you can do it on voluntary basis. However, it is recommended for your product to be approved in order to get consumer's trust.
