Customs & import duties in Malaysia
Nothing to pay under RM500
Air courier parcels with a value of RM500 or less, about £85, clear with no import duty or sales tax. The threshold is generous for the region, and it is why splitting a big order can sometimes beat combining it.
Above RM500: duty plus 10% sales tax
Over RM500, import duty is set by category, typically between 0% and 20%, with most computers and phones at 0%. Sales tax of 10% is then added to the goods plus duty, and a few categories are taxed at 5%.
Estimate before you buy
Use the free duty calculator to check whether your parcel stays below RM500 and what you would pay above it.
Duty calculatorCharges are collected by the courier at delivery. If you buy from an online seller registered under Malaysia's low-value goods rules, the 10% sales tax may be taken at checkout instead. Rates depend on the product classification, so these figures are estimates.
What imports really cost in Malaysia?
Examples apply the RM500 threshold, 10% import duty as a common consumer rate (most computing goods are 0%) and 10% sales tax on goods plus duty. Shown in pounds; customs converts to ringgit at the day's rate.
| Item | Value + shipping | Customs duty | Sales tax (10%) | Estimated total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Skincare set (under RM500) | £60 + £15 | £0 | £0 | £75 |
| Sneakers | £110 + £20 | £13 | £14.30 | £157.30 |

RyanFrequently asked questions
What is UK to Malaysia parcel forwarding?
You receive a UK address at our Manchester warehouse to use on British websites. The shop delivers your order there as a domestic parcel, and we ship it on to your Malaysian address. Retailers that never send to Malaysia become an option.
Is UK to Malaysia parcel forwarding legit?
Yes. Forwarding is legal and used by a very large number of online shoppers, and your parcel is declared to Royal Malaysian Customs like any other import. Check independent reviews of a forwarder instead of trusting only its own statements.
What is the best way of shipping from the UK to Malaysia?
Royal Mail International Tracked is the cheapest at £38.95. FedEx World Express is the fastest, delivering in 2 to 4 working days for £59.84. The calculator above gives prices for your exact parcel.
How long does UK to Malaysia shipping take?
For most services, five to nine days door to door. FedEx World Express takes 2 to 4 working days, Parcelforce Global Priority 4 to 6, and Royal Mail or DPD Air 5 to 8. Clearance can add one day.
Will I pay customs duty on parcels from the UK to Malaysia?
Only if the parcel is worth more than RM500. At or below RM500, about £85, there is no import duty or sales tax on air courier parcels. Above it, duty depends on the category, commonly 0% to 20%, and 10% sales tax is added to goods plus duty.
How much does UK to Malaysia parcel forwarding cost?
The UK address is free and has no subscription. You pay for shipping when a parcel leaves, from £38.95 for 1 kg, plus £2 + VAT for consolidating orders. Storage costs nothing for 30 days.
Should I combine orders or keep parcels under RM500?
Run the numbers for your order. Combining saves an air freight charge per parcel, usually the bigger cost here, while staying under RM500 avoids duty and sales tax altogether. Separate parcels can win for small, cheap orders; for larger ones, consolidation usually does. We can calculate it with you.
Which UK stores can I shop from Malaysia?
Any retailer that ships within the UK, for example ASOS, Next, Marks & Spencer, John Lewis, Argos, Currys, Boots and Superdrug. If your Malaysian card is not accepted, Buy For Me lets us buy the items on your behalf.
What duty rates apply to UK parcels in Malaysia?
Above RM500, duty ranges from 0% to roughly 20% by category. Computers, phones and books are mostly 0%, while clothing, shoes and accessories are higher. Sales tax of 10% is then charged on goods plus duty, with some categories at 5%.
Which couriers deliver from the UK to Malaysia?
Royal Mail, DPD, Parcelforce and FedEx all deliver to Malaysia from our UK warehouse. The calculator shows each with a live price and delivery estimate, so you can decide on cost versus speed.
What if a UK store will not accept my Malaysian card?
Many UK stores only accept British-issued cards. With Buy For Me, you tell us the products, we pay with our UK payment details, and your order is forwarded to Malaysia like a normal parcel.
