I am worrying bout this. I ordered a doll from Edendoll (Dollzone Tintan) and will she be charged of custom tax when she arrives here? If yes, how much it would be? I really wanted to know this. Help please, anyone?
hello~ yay! more malaysian doll owner! Nice to meet you!~ ^o^ It depends on how much and how it is valued. My dolls were valued as 'gift' and marked at $60/$70 all time. So, never get caught by the custom so far. How much is your girl valued at? You can try ask the company to mark your doll undervalued like mine, but some company might not want to do it. Try to ask them in their QA about it? So far, most of my friends whose doll valued at lower then $80 passed custom a-okay ^_^ hope that help. (really hope you dont have to pay those evil tax fees. it's really high and troublesome >o< )
So far I have never been charges customs tax before since they were all mark around $20-$80. I have a friend who got her DOD doll that was marked $100 and she manage to pass customs without getting charged.
yiesha and hammi, thank you so much for replyin my thread! Well, this is my first doll. I ordered from Edendoll (approx $320). I am worrying bout the custom tax because I am broke now =x I did sent an email to them and asked them whether they would do me a favor by declaring my order as gift or under certain cost..I hope they are willing to help me out
I am mad now I really hate customs in Malaysia! They had retained my order from Dollmore now! Well, it costs $61. They are goin to open my package and might spoilt my wigs!!
i think i might have some of my parcels being opened before but they are all still in a good condition when they reached me :3 so don't worry much ^^ and yay for new dollowner in malaysia
They did opened my first parcel from Dollmore. This is the second. Sigh, they are so mean! Thanks, I had been savin for long time in order to get my first doll T_T
I think it is quite normal for them to open packages since Customs in Australia also do. My packages sent to Malaysia also gets opened by usually they come undamaged ^^;.
I hope you got your doll ok! I was charged RM60+ on my Ichigo who was declared at full value. In a way it's not that terrible if it's detained, because when you go to collect it, you can open it yourself in front of them (they give you the blade to open it) and minimize possible damage to the contents. although there will be damage to your wallet When I got my Rukia, she was declared at USD20 and delivered straight to my house without being detained. But when I opened the box I saw that customs had cut a 2" slit in the free carrier bag I think they thought it was a present or something. Luckily Rukia wasn't damaged, but still^^;
Customs's sure terrible I am askin Edendoll whether they can help me out by markin my doll as gift and under certain amount..but they give me no reply til today T_T
