Hi Guys Merry Christmas !
This is a stressed up first post in this forum
I purchased a G-Shock GWS-5600 from Rakuten for RM920 (inclusive of shipping) on the 15th of December. Seller delayed in shipping it out so the watch arrived in KLIA on 21/12/2017.
Anyway this is the tracker timeline

20/12/2017 07:00 Departed from export office Kansai Int Apt
21/12/2017 12:00 Arrived at destination import office Kuala Lumpur
21/12/2017 12:01 Presented to import customs Kuala Lumpur
21/12/2017 15:47 Held for customs inspection Kuala Lumpur
No further updates since the 21st. I have not received any letter from Pos Malaysia regarding appointing them as an agent to clear Customs.
I'm planning to call Pos Malaysia tmw to check on the package. But I read on another forum that I should not call as this would draw attention on my package and I would get taxed. But it's been with Customs for 4 days so I got a strong feeling i'm getting hit with GST.
What can I do to speed up the Customs process ?
I thought the charging of GST is pretty straight forward and won't take more than a day.
P.S. On the 22/12/2017 I purchased a G Shock strap for RM 200 from another seller on Rakuten and it has passed through Customs today.
