before GST implemention
bringing in watches to msia is free.
so pls dont be too smart in your declaration, our custom officer dont understand your term, worst !
just to share one of my experience
a watch i bought from US stucked at custom
Fedex import clearance guy called, asked - what do u mean by repaired horo instrument? custom wanted the ship out evidence!
i said i nvr ship it out, my friend bring there
fedex said not evidence shown u bring out then custom will tax u
i said nope, this is a watch, repaired or new or used, it should not be taxed! fedex said yes, he will explain...
so if watch is not taxable item, make it simple
some may argue, its not about custom, but the courier company staff/postman know its a watch, he might take it
to save insurance premium by declaring lower value, end of the day u can claim less.... not an issue of custom and tax
