In most cases (i.e. if the shipping cost isn't clearly specified on documentation), courier services value shipment using IATA guideline which leads to most shipments being overtaxed. If you believe you shouldn't be taxed (invoice+shipping cost below MYR500) or have been overcharged, just e-mail them with a copy of the invoice clearly stating the exact total. In some cases, you can check on shipping terms. Not particularly sure about Malaysian Customs, but if seller specifies FOB/FCA then it's your right to only be taxed the invoice total ex-shipping fees.

Just a suggestion anyways, I've tried with FedEx and been exempted from paying tax on most occasions even though they've already cleared it for me. No experience with DHL though...
I've no qualms with paying tax on invoice value, most of the time they just apply a 10%+- rate. In my experience though, disputes arise mostly due to shipping. Courier services would rarely inquire if no freight costs are specified on the invoice or packaging, they'd just refer to IATA and add the freight cost they see fit. You are referring to leather products being tax exempt in your example? QUOTE(attacusatlas @ Aug 8 2014, 06:02 PM) Trust me I have done all those that mentioned above but to no avail. There was a case whereby DHL even allowed the customs to tax me wrongly even though I pointed out that those tax codes, as stipulated in Sales Tax (Exemption) Order 1980, are only to be applied on tobacco and alcohol. Just in case you may ask, I purchased two belts from a reputable online store, and the online store declared the description and price of the items very clearly in the invoice and the epic? DHL asked me to liaise with the Customs directly......... |

QUOTE(attacusatlas @ Aug 9 2014, 12:28 PM) I appreciate your input in this matter. I was just questioning the professionalism of an international courier company on the handling of customs clearance. I have no issue in paying the tax but the inconsistency of tax code applied to my parcels, and the handling method are not what I would expect. I was even taxed for anything below RM500. Indeed, carry on lads.But then again, we are in the Bolehland.......... Oh well, let's continue with our petty indulgence, ya? |

Just a thought, looking through your wardrobe. Something minimal and understated with interesting textures, semi-luxe if you please. Seems about right to me, what says you?

QUOTE(Imsilly @ Jun 7 2015, 11:03 AM) Are those brushes the best for cleaning suede? Never had suede shoes before so I have no clue what I've gotten myself into. Usually my leather shoes don't require much cleaning. Yeah, you need those premium types since suede is quite fragile. Failing that just use a soft toothbrush. Just keep them away from water and brush once in a while and you'd be fine. Enjoy your ketupat shoe. |

I know that when a man likes a shirt, he should get as many of them as he can. But you guys are really going overboard with this RL thing right?
