Importing into Malaysia

Things you need to know when shipping to Malaysia

You will need to log into your account in order to complete our online documentation which includes:

• Inventory, recording the contents of your shipment;
• Insurance to protect your shipment in case of mishap.

You will need to upload scans of your passport - the picture page, the signature page and if applicable, a copy of your visa, at the final stage of the process.

There are helpful pointers all throughout but you must be completely accurate with the information you enter as these forms will be presented to the authorities at the destination.

Importing your personal effects and household items

Your shipment of personal effects and household items can be imported duty-free if:

1. You must be the owner of the personal effects and household items.
2. You must have owned and been in possessions of the items for a period greater than 6 months.
3. You must be present in Malaysia when your shipment arrives.

Documents required: 

a. clear and legible copy of your Malaysian Identity Card (front and back)/Passport (for non-citizens).

b. clear and legible copy of your visa and work permit (for those who have worked overseas or are coming to Malaysia to work)

c. clear and legible copy of your university offer letter (for returning students or foreigners planning to study in Malaysia)

Every person returning to Malaysia must possess a valid supporting document stating the purpose of their travel or affairs abroad. No exceptions will be made, including for Malaysian citizens, as these documents are required by the Customs authorities.

You may be asked to provide your original passport and other relevant documents if requested by Malaysian customs authority.
