Shopping Groceries abroad

[nakmar86]

Hi everyone,

Need your expertise on bringing goods from Malaysia. If i were to go to JB, and there i shop for groceries or anything, are all those goods required to declare for GST? I read on the terms but i'm still confuse. I have to go to JB because I couldn't find my kids formula milk anywhere near.

You have to pay GST if your goods from JB is above $150 for less than 48 hours' of travel.

Thanks. So no need to declare at custom if less than that. or i still have to declare but no need to pay gst?

Well if you don't declare when you're supposed to, and you get caught, you'll get fine.

When in doubt, always declare to play safe.
