friends, need yr advise. i used aramex delivery service when i bought bunch of items from Singapore... nothing illegal, just some kitchen stuff cookware, kids water bottle, bathroom mats, and a 18v drill/driver.... so when it arrived in malaysia.. not sure by air or land.. the document from them says via truck but somehow my stuff they emailed and said its in process to be declared to customs in KLIA and i have to pay GST ... so i figured its fine... coz 6% of my invoice+shipping wont be that much.. maybe rm 1XX... but shocking when i received email from them saying that i have to pay rm 490... so its 6% gst plus all my items individually kena duty... so i told them to FuuK off and tell me how i need to clear my items from customs.. at first they said i cannot do that, but then they replied saying i need K1 form then bring all related documents like invoice,aramex shipping info, etc...

NOW.... what do i do? any advise? i was thinking to go KLIA customs and see outside there if got any guy with connection with inside agent to bring out my items... i dont mind paying anyone except aramex..

any advise is appreciated.. thank you..

you can do a search here of your item wallpaper.. (http://tariff.customs.gov.my/) it seems it did not state if there is duty .. but it should be ok.. if the total cost for your wallpapers is above 500rm , then you need to pay 6% gst based on your invoice value .. sometimes they might do 6% of (invoice value + your shipping cost) ...also pray hard that your stuff is not inspected and just lepas..

same here.. my item arrives first week of june... but my question is, will i be taxed if my item is below the value of rm500 (item + shipping)? i checked the hs code for my item, it says 20%. the last time i bought the item, it came directly to me bcoz the item+shipping is below rm500. with no more gst, will there be sst? even if its below rm500? ... anyone care to advise?

dear sifu's , need ur help here...

i ordered 3 items from amazon usa to be shipped to malaysia. The item is shipped via Aramex

item 1 - Brother brand small label printer with Bluetooth
item 2- a small toothbrush holder made of plastic
item 3 - a 6 pcs set of kitchen utensils - no knife , only pasta spoon,soup spoon..etc..

The cost of all these items is RM 300 and shipping cost it RM 90. So total is less than RM 400.

I received email from Aramex saying i would need sirim permit. WHich i knew before buying the label printer. Because it has bluetooth. communication device. So i know i cannot escape that, so thru online, emailed sirim, send product details and paid the sirim RM100 for the bluetooth label printer.

Now i receive email from Aramex, asking me to pay the duty Rm 80 + Rm30 Aramex Processing free. What happen to the rule of item below RM500 no need pay any tax or sst? Is aramex squeezing me? From the document i received, there is hs code declared for my item..but the categories under the item is more like for manufactures. I bought the item for personal use and not under any company.

Please advise. Would i be able to talk to customs and collect the item myself?

thank you.

hi bro, thank you for your help. The minimum 2018 IATA Freight rate is typo? RM 535 or RM 35?
If minimum of 535 used to calculate CIF , how can the goods be below RM 500? So no matter what, need to pay duti and tax?

maybe will kena 5% tax.. does the player has bluetooth,wifi,nfc ? then will need to pay sirim.. could be RM100. If overall cost including shipping is over rm500.. then 10% sst also kena..
