How to Clear Customs in Malaysia
Following my first overseas purchase that was being detained by custom in Malaysia, I decided to write this post to share my experiences on how to deal with them.
Note: This is a personal sharing of mine on how to deal with
Malaysia Royal Custom for your detained or held items from overseas
purchases. Hopefully this will be helpful to assist you to clear your
items :)
Signs to Look for - Your Items *MIGHT* be detained by customs
If you saw the following description on PosLaju tracking website such as 'Custom Inspection. High - value goods', there is a high chance that your item might be detained by the custom for import tax and sales tax. In that case, you would normally received a letter of detainment from them and is delivered by your trusty PosLaju mailman on the next day. In my case, I got the said letter on the next day from the website.
