Title: Importing watches in
Post by: rfc on March 12, 2013, 06:49:23 PM

Has anyone ever had any issues importing a watch into country? I guess this is someway linked to my previous post on duty free Malaysia but I keep hearing conflicting stories.  If you import a watch is it likely to be held up in customs and are duties payable?

Bro Broxi, although I don't know the answer to your question but I do know you can go to Malaysian Custom Website. They have an on line enquiry. You type in your queries and they will reply to you within 3 days ( I think ). I used it before buying staffs from Amazon. Very useful. And best of all they are black and white answers from the custom itself. What more do you want?  :thumbsup:

I have bought few watches from overseas. Never had any problem before. I would advice you to ask them to ship via DHL or FEDEX and it will reach straight to ur door step ... If go thru pos malaysia a bit hassle.. U need to go to sepang to claim and do ur own custom papers...

if the watch come with a strap that is made up of animal that is protected under CITES then you have to apply the animal skin import license from perhilitan  :)

Ya DPKong is right. There is no import duty or sales tax for watches.
You can check here:
