Just got my parcel from customs office today and I paid RM60 for taxes today , so I'm here to share the information of how to get your item if yours ended up being blocked.
The first step is to check whether your items are blocked by customs or not. If you're using USPS, you can check the status at USPS.com, the result will be as below:
Notice that there are two " Into Foreign Customs", this indicates that your items are now being held at customs.
A letter will be sent to you in few days, usually 2 days after the block, and with that letter, go to the Pos Office at LCCT. It's a big building so you can't miss it.
You need to bring along the invoice or receipt of your payment, to prove the value of the items. They will not trust the value declared.
At the office, you will go through 3 departments, quite easy, they will ask you to open the parcel, and you can tell your story there. But do remember, the officers there are very experience, cheap lies such as these items are gift won't help you. If you want to avoid tax, get a better story or just pay the tax.
So that's all you need to do. I hope these infos help!
