Malaysian Import and Export Procedures

Examination of goods

Examination is carried out after the declaration of goods is accepted by the proper officer of customs. Goods for examination must be produced by the importer or exporter or by the agent.

Customs inspection determines the following:

  1. Whether the imported goods are truly and correctly described in the customs declaration and by the invoice
     
  2. Whether the imported goods are of class which is prohibited either absolutely or conditionally under existing laws and regulation
     
  3. Significant information on characteristic, physical or chemical and usage of imported goods which determines proper valuation and classification and...
  4. Dutiable quantity imported.

  The customs' right of inspection includes the power to take and test samples of the goods and all expenses of unpacking, re-packing and providing specialized facilities for inspection must be borne by the importer.

Most consignments are given direct release whereby goods imported are released based on accepted documents presented together with the customs declaration form without physical examination.

Physical examination could mean 10% of very container per consignment or 100% of the whole consignment depending on the necessity.

Consular Invoice
This is a form, usually obtainable only from the Consulate of the importing country, on which the exporter or its agent must enter a detailed description of the goods being shipped. Such a form is required by certain countries.

On the consular invoice, there is space not only for the name of the goods but also for any marks carried, the number of the items, their weight, the value and origin of the goods and a declaration that the information given is correct. There must be no erasures or "strike-over" in typing, pen-and-ink changes, or additions. In some countries, the goods must be described in terms of the customs.
