What is your last watch purchase before Malaysia 10% SST (6%) implemented?

[forniter]

i thought SST will not be implied on watches? Or i may have heard wrongly

Hey guys, new here. I purchased a watch from Lazada on 31st August but they shipped it from overseas. I guess SST is imposed on date of arrival, not date of purchase right?

Anyone already has experience being imposed SST on imported watch yet?

if this is shipped for personal, i wont think get sales tax

Thanks! That makes sense, SST is different than GST which is imposed to the end customer.

last heard SST reduced to 6% for watches. Wonder if it is true.

I did hear a few people saying that watch prices increased by 6%.. so probably true

[Danielo]

What I heard was 5%.

I have a couple of in-coming pieces that should arrive to Malaysia within these 2 weeks, so I would look out if there was any tax imposition. But rightfully speaking, it should load up on the manufacturing side so consumers should be clear.

got myself a speedy pro at the very last day before SST
not sure about the current price now

SST for watches and clocks has been reduced to 5% after appeal.

I ordered a watch from Singapore last week, delivered the next day by Fedex without any tax.

I think you just have to pay for shipping for this case. No tax required as it’s not passed through any retailers.

My package from Japan using EMS was held by customs for SST payment. Another package using DHL got through without a problem. The difference? The EMS package has the actual value listed on the manifest while the DHL package was only stated at USD100 (<RM500).

It seems customs generally inspect packaged with value >RM500.

Anyway, SST rate is 5%.

Hi meoramri, just currently bumped into your blog and you have lots of experiences buying JDM watches from oversea website like seiyajapan, Gnomon, etc. Which one would you recommend for the best overall service? Your blog poisoned me a lot and I would like to add some JDM watches into my collection as well. Thanks.
