Malaysia Custom Regulation
I will go back Malaysia this summer. My family asks me to buy Starbuck Tumblers for them. How many can I bring back to Malaysia?
I found the custom regulation in other website. It says, " all other goods, incl. gifts and souvenirs up to a total value of max. MYR 400".
But, there is another regulation, "The items can only be imported duty free if the following conditions are met: the articles are imported by the visitor on his person or his baggage; non-alien residents stay in Malaysia more than 72 hours; nationals and residents of Malaysia have left the country for more than 72 hours. "
I am Malaysian and I am studying in the U.S. I lhave left the country for more than 72 hours.
How many can I bring back without getting charge on tax?
Best Answer
This government page is fairly clear. As a returning resident or a visitor intending to stay more than 72 hours you may bring total goods amounting to MYR 400 without paying duty (plus some items like new clothing). If you bring more than that (currently a bit over US $100 value), you pay 30% on the excess, so if you brought MYR 450 worth you would pay 15 ringgits.
It's not clear whether the "value" includes US sales tax, but typically the exchange rate used would be that in effect when you arrive, not when you purchased the items.
