Hi guys,
I need some advice.

Last week I bought some mill max sockets,
https://my.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Mill-Ma...i1rs8w5iF41k%3D

The total value is RM255, and freigh was RM74. And I used FedEx.

Upon reaching Malaysia, I was informed that I need to pay RM211 for tax. And the reason behind it is because my freight charges is now RM523 as declared by FedEx (or Customs, I don't know who).
The invoice shows freight RM523.

2 months ago, I bought the exact same product, and I used UPS.
The freight was RM88.
However, that time, I wasn't taxed and the reason was because the freight in the custom invoice was RM88, so my CIF was less than RM500.


I have approached the PK today, and they told me any item from the US, even if it's RM1, will be charged freight RM523.

I just need to know whether I am being conned.


Update:
After much resistance.
FedEx has agreed to lower my tax from RM211 to RM83.
I have agreed but will never use FedEx again.
