As the Internet grow over time, the wholesale landscape has been seen transitioning from offline stores to online platforms. It is very convenient to explore the online market for purchasing and importing goods. However, various challenges often emerge when purchasing from across countries. 

Custom clearance process, taxation issues, duties related.

Importing may be appealing, but it is still a transportation procedure between countries. Carrying out appropriate procedures are essential as they are being responsible. Though, buyers may face some obstructions before obtaining the goods, whether minor or major items. There is a chance for the goods to be detained by the customs of countries if they deem appropriate.

Here are some common situations faced by consumers when trying to import.

1. Permit and Approvals

The officers have the authority to ask for SIRIM approval or permits when you are importing. SIRIM Approval is a permit for the listing of electrical products in Malaysia, otherwise, the products is not permitted. Failing to provide can cause the goods to be detained or stuck at the clearance process.

2. Taxation and Duties

During the importation, you may receive phone calls from the customs’ officer for related issues. The goods may give you extra taxations if what you purchase belong to certain categories. It leads you to paying extra tax that is not counted during your purchase. The cost of product can rise higher than you thought after adding up with the customs taxation.

3. Invoices and Records.

Sometimes, the importation can be a smooth-sailing experience and sometimes it would be the opposite. Business owners importing from abroad for years could be looked up by the authorities for understanding your records. Providing the documents could be a handful of troubles, and if you do not have the documents ready, you could get fined.
