Hi Guys,
I'm confused about when I get Taxed and how much for importing stuff. I plan to ship RM 510 Worth Retro handheld video games from Japan And international shipping is about RM 45. My item is around 2 kg, will be using SAL (Japan cost economy airmail) to ship it here (I'm buying with Buyee) The package is labled as personal effects, but can change to electronics/toys. I live in Rawang area btw

Will I get taxed ? Is Import tax calculated by the Value of the item itself or also include the International shipping cost ? How much is the tax and gst 6 % will apply ?

I called pos malaysia just now and they say I won't be taxed for anything,not even gst because my item is less than 2 kg. If over 60 kg Then they only tax. Which is very strange as people in the group say sure kena tax or at least 6% GST If item value is over RM 500

Thanks for the reply evilhomura89,really appreciate it ! Oh so does that mean I don't have to worry that much haha. I'll claim it as personal item. What about if I use AIR (Registered Small Package) It Arrives in about half the time,and what happens when there is kastam stamping ? Do I get taxed,if so how much ? Sorry for all the questions cause I'm a newbie to this and the confusing conversation I had with pos malaysia isn't helping at all
