I also left the tags on the clothes. (I didn&#39;t know malaysian rules until after I sent the shipment and found this forum).<br /><br />How much can I expect the Tax to be?<br /><br />The problem She and I are facing are that:<br /><br />1.) She&#39;s a student there, that too international student, so she doesn&#39;t have a job, so no money to even afford tax. She couldn&#39;t even afford the clothes there in KL, which is why I shipped them to her.<br /><br />2.) Just going from KL to KLIA and declaring there is hectic and an expense, plus bringing back a box weighing 30 lbs (15 kg) which will be heavy is another problem.<br /><br />Any guidance on how much tax she can expect will be helpful, and ways to convince custom officer.<br /><br />Thanks<br /><br /> ritzbitz Resource Centre Fri, 06 Feb 2015 11:57:53 +0800
