Items Value X Wrongly Declared: Custom Duties (Un)Paid

okay the story is

I ordered something from Roxy

let’s set aside what they are

 

so when they are due to arrive

I got a call from the DHL man that

I have to pay MYR 170++ for custom duties

 

I was like what the hell that’s so much

almost 50% of what I paid for my items

 

so I paid accordingly

with much pain felt for

the hole burnt in my pocket

 

and went through the receipt and okay

let me break the cost down

one step at a time

 

so the customs duties paid is

132.19 MYR and DHL actually charged

40.00 MYR for handling the fee

 

in other word, that’s the charge for

paying in advance on behalf of me

wow.. I know right

 

I am supposed to pay 132.19 MYR

because according to the duties’ invoice

my items are supposed to worth 1321.90 MYR

so basically they are charging 10% import duties

 

wait a minute

my items cost 450 MYR

instead of 450 AUD /  1321.90 MYR

 

hence I traced back to the

commercial invoice issued by Quiksilver

which declared my items as 450 AUD

instead of 450 MYR

oh damn them

 

I had a live chat with the sale support officer

and she asked me to drop an email

with the scanned documentations

as above

I did and still waiting for a reply
