Each country has specific duties and tax regulations that necessitate compliance. Therefore, this article provides a comprehensive guideline of the documents needed for custom clearance in Malaysia, the customs clearance process and the customs duties for dutiable goods entering Malaysia and various countries.
Documents Needed for Customs Clearance in Malaysia
Proper documentation is the cornerstone of successful customs clearance in Malaysia. Importers and exporters must provide the necessary paperwork to facilitate the process. The key customs documents in Malaysia include:
-
Commercial Invoice
A commercial invoice is a detailed document that specifies the value of goods, their description, and other pertinent information. It is essential for assessing customs duties and taxes.
-
Bill of Lading/Airway Bill
For sea and air shipments, the bill of lading and airway bill serve as proof of ownership and contain critical information about the cargo, including its origin and destination.
-
Packing List
A packing list details the contents of each package, including the quantity, weight, and dimensions of each item. This information assists customs officers in verifying the shipment’s accuracy.
-
Certificate of Origin
The certificate of origin indicates where the goods were manufactured or produced. It is often essential for determining eligibility for preferential tariffs under free trade agreements.
-
Import Licence
Certain goods may require an import licence or permit from relevant authorities in Malaysia. These licences must be presented to customs for clearance.
-
Customs Declaration Form
The customs declaration form provides detailed information about imported or exported goods, including their classification, value, and origin. It is used to assess customs duties and taxes.
-
Other Relevant Documents
Depending on the nature of the goods and the specific requirements, additional documents may be necessary, such as certificates of inspection, health and sanitary certificates, phytosanitary certificates, or special permits for specific products.
Process for Customs Clearance in Malaysia
The customs clearance process in Malaysia involves several steps, which may vary slightly depending on the type of goods, mode of transportation, and specific customs office. Here is an overview of the typical customs clearance procedures:
-
Pre-Arrival
Before goods arrive in Malaysia, importers should ensure that all required documentation is complete and accurate. This includes verifying that the commercial invoice, bill of lading or airway bill, packing list, and other relevant documents are in order.
-
Submission of Documents
Upon arrival in Malaysia, the importer or their appointed customs broker submits the necessary documents to the relevant customs office. The customs declaration form and supporting documents are crucial at this stage.
-
Goods Examination
Customs officers may examine the goods to verify their accuracy against the documentation provided. This may involve physically inspecting the cargo, checking the packaging, or conducting laboratory tests for specific products.
-
Assessment of Customs Duties and Taxes
Based on the information provided in the customs declaration form and supporting documents, customs officers assess the applicable customs duties and taxes. These charges may include import duties, excise duties, sales tax, and GST (Goods and Services Tax).
-
Payment of Customs Duties and Taxes
Before customs clearance, importers must pay the assessed customs duties and taxes. Payment can be made electronically through the customs department’s designated channels.
-
Customs Clearance Approval
Once all customs duties and taxes are paid and the goods are deemed compliant with customs regulations, customs clearance is granted. The goods can then be released for further transportation or delivery to their final destination.
-
Post-Clearance Audits
Customs authorities in Malaysia may conduct post-clearance audits to ensure ongoing compliance with customs laws. These audits may involve a review of importers’ records and documentation to verify the accuracy of previous declarations.

For parcels to the EU, If the customer provides a valid and uncoded IOSS, duty or VAT prepay is not needed; If the customer doesn’t have IOSS, they need to prepay a certain amount to cover every shipment (e.g. €500 to €1000).
Notes: IOSS is an electronic portal the EU has introduced where you can register to get a single VAT
IOSS ID number that applies to distance sales in all 27 EU countries. It will simplify the process by
enabling you to collect, declare and account for VAT and pay your bill directly to the EU Tax Authorities
via a periodic tax return (for goods up to the value of €150).
