Customs Duties
Malaysia's import threshold is RM 500. Shipments below this value are generally duty-free. Above RM 500, the recipient may be required to pay import duties and SST (Sales & Services Tax) before receiving their parcel.
Always declare the accurate value of your items — under-declaring is a customs offence and can result in delays or seizure.
💡 Pro Tip: For e-commerce shipments, include a commercial invoice with item description, quantity, and value in USD or SGD. This speeds up customs clearance significantly.
