What Import Permits Are Required For The Goods?

To import goods from overseas into Malaysia, the most crucial document is the Import License. Additionally, the Malaysian government has regulations stipulating that certain items require special import licenses to be imported and placed on the market for sale.

So, how can businesses find out which permits their goods require? And what goods need import licenses?

I believe many businesses have these questions. However, this blog post will help you address these issues! So, without further ado, let's get started! Let's Go!
 

How to check what import permits are required for goods?
 

First, we can visit the official website http://mysstext.customs.gov.my/tariff/, which is specifically established by the Royal Malaysian Customs Department (abbreviated as JKDM) for querying HS codes.

Through this website, we can search for the HS code of the goods and find out the import tax that needs to be paid for the goods. Additionally, this website is very detailed. Besides displaying the HS code and import tax, it also carefully describes the characteristics of the goods. Therefore, we need to look for the description that best matches the goods to understand which import permits the goods require.

Summary of the process:

1. Go to the official website http://mysstext.customs.gov.my/tariff/
2. Search for the HS code of the goods by describing the goods.
3. Look for the description that best matches the goods.
4. Understand the import permits required for the goods.
