'Malaysian Import Policies' Import

Aric (218.18.226.215) - 12/13/05 01:21

We want to start a production line for assembling TVs (For Exporting to South America, Middle East & East Africa) in a free industrial zone in

Malaysia. We want to buy refurbished used picture tubes of B Grade of TV's (Not of Computers) from local market in Malaysia and want to import

SKD's from China. Now there are some questions.

1> Are Malaysian CRT/CPT suppliers capable enough to supply refurbished used TV picture tubes of 14"/20"/21" on regular basis? Do they have

stock of picture tubes same as Korean & Japanese picture tubes suppliers?

2> If we need to import refurbished used B Grade TV's picture tubes from Korea or Japan, so can we import them or not? Is B Grade picture tube

restricted or banned in Malaysia like China's new import policy?

3> As we are looking for space in a free industrial zone so do we have to pay any Import duty on SKD's or Refurbished picture tubes which we will

import from China & Korea or Japan?

Can you please answer of these questions or if you can provide me some website addresses or some other contact details where I can get some

more information so I'll really appreciate your help. Also, Can you suggest me a good free industrial zone?

Thanks in advance

if your looking for used tv or electronics to sell, and ship the cheapest way to get them would maybe be e-bay or go to local garage sales and things to find them, fix them up then sell them for double your money of what you put into them.

Comment #4 Patrick (63.176.159.232) - 11/11/08 22:01

I used to own a used applicance store, and I have about 50-75 used tv's if you are interested in buying them let me know, and also let me know about how much you would be willing to pay for all them, and I will pay shipping to send them to you.

Comment #5 Meghan (63.176.159.137) - 12/16/08 00:29

Patrick do you have an email address or something that I could contact you at? I'm interested in purchasing some of your used TV's.

Comment #6 Brett (63.176.159.217) - 01/27/09 00:07

I guess Patrick lost those TV's or something.....too bads I wonder how much he would have charged me.

Comment #7 Naid (63.176.159.183) - 03/04/09 22:22

I don't think that even a good idea to refurbish TVs. I've already bought one of those tv when my good sony tv broke down. I bought one just a temporary replacement and it did serve its purpose as a temporary cause after three months the things crashed and burned itself.

Comment #8 Naid (63.176.159.102) - 05/02/09 19:35

This TV refurbishing maybe one of those good solution to lessen pollution, but old television model consume more energy in terms of electricity than the new model which are designed to be energy efficient. There should just be facility that will recycle consumer electronics so that It won't add up to the waste materials polluting this planet. I've seen such facilities in YouTube in which they recycle gold, silver and copper from various electronic specially those from computers.

Comment #9 Jessie (63.176.159.97) - 05/15/09 22:47

I agree with Naid.. Recycling is a good idea and the first aid to not further add up on pollution due to constant production of appliances that eventually emits harmful gasses on earths atmosphere.

So lets buy used TV's from now on and order from Patrick.. I Hope patrick will thank me for this post.

Comment #10 Margie (63.176.159.207) - 05/28/09 22:06

Hey Jessie you got a point there... I think the actions that we do now in terms of helping other earth is a little too late. The ozone layer is dramatically destroyed. Forest, reefs are destroyed. What we can do now is to stop, stop destroying everything that is left, and conserve it for future generations.

Comment #11 Eric (63.176.159.218) - 06/17/09 04:39

Yeah, this time we desperately need to reduce pollution. We are destroying everything without noticing it. I found this ways where we can recycle or reuse old items...

1. Buy recycled paper and print on both sides. When using paper in the office, print on both sides of the sheet and recycle the paper when you are finished. By recycling one ton of paper, you can save 17 trees, almost 7, 000 gallons of water and more than three cubic yards of landfill space.

2. Recycle your outdated technology. According to EPA, Americans throw out two million tons of e-waste each year. Avoid adding to that waste by recycling your old technology.

3. Make recycling bins readily available. Make sure your home and office are outfitted with recycling bins for paper, plastic and metal. Keep them out in the open and label them appropriately. Sometimes the convenience factor is all that is needed.

4. Recycle your empty ink and toner cartridges. Almost eight cartridges are thrown out in the United States every second of every day. That's almost 700, 000 cartridges per day.

5. Buy remanufactured ink and toner cartridges. Each remanufactured cartridge keeps approximately 2.5 pounds of metal and plastic out of landfills and saves about a half gallon of oil.

6. Recycle old newspapers laying around the office. When finished reading the newspaper, either leave it for someone else to read or recycle it.

7. Look for the recycled option in all the products you buy. It's not just paper that is recycled.

8. Buy rechargeable batteries. It takes 1, 000 regular batteries to equal the lifespan of one rechargeable battery. When you are discarding your batteries, recycle them.

9. Purchase rewritable CDs and DVDs so that you can reuse them from project to project.

10. Reuse your morning coffee cup. Or better yet, buy a mug to avoid the waste caused by throwing away the paper or Styrofoam.

Recycling is the process of taking a product at the end of its useful life and using all or part of it to make another product. The internationally recognized symbol for recycling includes three arrows moving in a triangle. Each arrow represents a different part of the recycling process, from collection to re-manufacture to resale. Recycling reduces our waste sent to landfills, and making new products out of recycled ones reduces the amount of energy needed in production.

There would be no harm in recycling we must all be well oriented in this topic..

Comment #13 Joey from Johnstown, Guiana - 06/30/09 08:05

Recycling is just a good to make you feel good while you trash the planet with your consumerism.

Comment #14 Chris (63.176.159.246) - 07/15/09 06:59

Yeah Joey, at least some people are aware with some possible solution that can be done with our planet's situation that is actually getting more worst in each passing day.. Unlike you who just thinks that recycling is nothing but a crap to make us feel better.

I suggest that Joey be oriented with recycling benefits and how our planet be benefited with it. To Jessie, Eric and Margie, just continue with your advocacy.. if you are really..

In my own view, recycling is a good approach to putting what we may call 'old items' into better use. That even reduces the risk of pollution.

Past ways of recycling TVs was perhaps to have them donated to an institution that would not really put them in complicated use. Nowadays, even the oldest of monitors/TV sets can be recycled.

Patrick's offer seems good. If you need to start assembly, are you sure you are getting into a least comptitive sector?

Comment #16 GeraniumF (218.186.12.229) - 08/03/09 12:48

Hi, wondering if there are Import Tax or Import Duties incur for import of usb flash drive? And is there a limited quantity?

Thanks!

If i were to import some apparel from Thailand by sea. How should I calculate the taxes?

Comment #18 cwemoy (63.176.159.104) - 08/27/09 08:33

Good point you have their Eric. Just out of curiosity, what if we planted trees specifically for the manufacture of paper and which have a symbiotic relationship with the environment as a whole? We would preserve what we need. Then again, the particular countries would also preserve the so called water catchment areas.

Recycling is an efficient process that reduces pollution effects. Most computer monitors are of minimal use when they get old so you could think of having them as memoirs.

Comment #19 Steve (63.176.159.217) - 09/16/09 19:08

Well i think i have commend Eric's post. That tips on recycling is a pro. however there are lots of work to be done and we need the whole wide world to participate in order to reduce the damage. Well the damage had been done and the least we could do is to stop adding up some more damage.

And i think we have to thank the non government organizations that orients people on how to care for the environment and start recycling stuffs.

Hi there to all. I would like to know more about the process of importing things in Malaysia. Thanks a lot.

Comment #22 Bing (63.176.159.97) - 02/04/10 21:07

I suggest that you try searching the net for those information about importing stuffs in the country.

But anyway, I have here a link that I hope would help all of you guys.

The Malaysian government uses tariffs as a main strategy to regulate the import of goods in Malaysia. The simple average applied normal trade relations (NTR)/most favored nation (MFN) tariff rate is approximately 8.56 per cent, but duties for tariff lines where there is significant local production are often higher.
