Please note that shipments to Malaysia are subject to very strict customs regulations regarding electronic products with wireless communication capabilities (such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth).
CRITICAL RISK NOTICE
If LOVOT is classified as a communication device by Malaysian Customs, the following strict regulations and heavy taxes will apply:
- Import Tax: 20% to 30% of the product value.
- SST (Sales and Service Tax): 10%.
- SIRIM Import Permit: You (the recipient/importer) must obtain an official import permit approved by SIRIM (Standards and Industrial Research Institute of Malaysia) before the shipment arrives. The permit fee is typically around MYR 100 to MYR 250 (approx. USD 20 to USD 50).
Penalties for Non-Compliance:
Failure to meet these customs requirements is considered a regulatory violation. This can result in penalty customs duties of up to three times the product’s value. Furthermore, return shipments to Japan are often strictly prohibited, meaning unclaimed packages will be permanently disposed of after 30 days.
To protect your purchase, we strongly recommend contacting Malaysian Customs and SIRIM to verify import requirements in detail before placing your order.
