IMPORT VALUATION ISSUES FOR FRESH FRUITS MEETING WITH ROYAL MALAYSIAN CUSTOMS

The meeting focused on feedback and improvement requests regarding the import price valuation process, especially after the implementation of 5% SST on fresh fruits effective 1 July 2025.
 

Key points discussed:

1.) Unrealistic price references.

2.) Payment proof challenges.

3.) Impact on consumers.
 

We thank Customs Malaysia for their willingness to discuss these issues. A follow-up meeting with the Customs Division (Bahagian Perkastaman) will be arranged to discuss the matter further so that a fair and practical resolution can be achieved for importers, authorities, and consumers alike.
