Hi, may I ask if there is any restriction for the weight of the parcel that I shipped in from overseas? This will be the 1st time I shipped in parcel tat is above 20kg. Will there be additional taxes due to the weight of the parcel?

QUOTE(slack3r @ Feb 1 2018, 11:01 AM) None that I know off regarding extra charges because of weight i've shipped something heavier or around that weight before. Thanks for the reply.. do u think it's advisable to ship it in 1 parcel or split into 2? If your item is taxable, I can see highter amount of tax since customs will tax you the total amount of item price + shipping So example you bought something that is 20% taxable and is lightweight, tax will be lower compared to something that is 20% taxable and is heavy since you will be paying higher for shipping heavy items   |

But weight will affecting duties/taxes calculation as IATA freight rate is base on shipment weight. Thanks for the reply ya. Coz I got shocked when the forwarder ask me if I'm sure to continue with the shipping as it is above 20kg..  |

QUOTE(slack3r @ Feb 2 2018, 10:30 PM) Really depends if the item is taxable. If it's taxable how much would it be? Ok.. thanks again. 1. You can check tax amount here http://tariff.customs.gov.my/ 2. Get price for shipping both 1 box and 2 boxes 3. compute where you will save more money  |
