Hey fam! Just experienced an amazing night here and Im thinking to do some shopping. So I wonder is there a guaranteed tax if I don’t prepay it? Or if I prepaid it, but actually it has no charge, would I get refund? Is there anyone who had bought from outside the UK can help me? Thanks in advance!

    Go check out LVG (Low Value Goods) tariffs in Royal Malaysia Custom Dept website. If I remember right, it’s 10%. C’mon ,.pay your tax.

    Ayy fellow Malaysian. It says unpaid because takes are at customs. If you’re lucky it will pass without getting checked. If you’re not, you’ll get a call to pay the tax before release. Usually there’s no change if you just say for personal use but you could end up paying anything between 6-10%.

    Hi fellow Malaysian! You can bypass these taxes if you just buy from official Adidas boutique in Malaysia. Thats what i used to do before the Super League fiasco. It carries its own benefits such as,

    1. You can buy more as its more affordable.
    2. Club still paid royalty for every shirt sold from official source, even though its lower than income gained thru club’s official merch shop.
    3. It raises club’s commercial profile when the sale happens at foreign country, such as Malaysia (a developing football craze country, located in Asia).
    4. High enough sales also will bring them to visit us in pre-season.

      Hello bro! I believe some exclusive items like the maharishi release and some hoodies won’t be available in adidas malaysia, it would be super great if they do so… Thanks for the reply, I shall try my luck!

        Ahh shit! Yes you’re right! I overlooked that part. The exclusive items are usually very limited in adidas store. You may be lucky if you checked at their premium outlets, otherwise buying online was your best bet.

            Thanks brother.! Also i checked in adidas Malaysia website, some of the Maharishi collections are listed there. See if you’re lucky enough to get your item there.

    Import duties aren’t usually calculated until the item clears customs. I’ve been blindsided by them before here in Canada
