Apparently the geniuses at Smoker H know something we don't. Read their FAQ on their website....don't laugh too hard at the claims they make
I just skimmed through the FAQ. Couldn't stomach reading it after a bit. Enough said. I don't want to be slapped with a lawsuit if I really go into a rant about it.
You're right. It's a disservice to smokers who want to switch to vaping.
And don't forget, their cartomizers are 'APPROVED' by the USFDA
my 1st e-cig was smk h, the box has a "made in usa" written.
WOW!Dear Alvin,
What is the HS code for e-cigs and e-liquids?
I just called customs and they guy mentioned HS854370900 if battery and refill in one shipment, HS854390 for e-liquid alone. Want to check the tariff but have to wait till I get home, my bro has the thick excise duty book.

@mahfudz -- you can check on the tariff code or tariff rates at JKDM HS - Explorer
I'm in the export business and that's the site I use to check.
Based on your HS codes and the PDK rates (Perintah Duti Kastam), both of these codes should have ZERO duty and 10% sales tax.
However, both of these HS codes are supposed to be for machinery, with functions that are not covered in other HS categories. What do they have to do with e-liquid and e-cigs? Hahaha.
You could refer to the tariff code book, but this site is the most updated.

in my personal experience, as long as the amount of tax to pay met their target, what code was used / charged does not matter, it's just a formality. it's how the game they want to play. there's a case where my tax is low, they re-value the goods up 416% so that the amount of tax will be higher to met their target. full of s*it!
If they not intend to tax you, automatically your goods will go through no issues.

My brother is in retail business as well and he deals with many packages from Europe. He told me that he learnt that if you don't come prepared, you'll get screwed. They just hantam here and there and that's why he got the tariff book, a whopping RM260 from Popular bookstore. With that book, he's been getting the tax as laid down in the book and not get played by customs.
Jack: I double checked that HS code that I got from the Customs' Hotline. The description do fit e cigarettes and the guy on the line didn't seem to have any trouble 'coding' it. Must be quite a familiar item now with the growing number of resellers in Malaysia. Hence, I am counting on that info for my next shipment in.

Good luck on it. Hope you can keep us updated on the progress and we can certainly try to see if others who will follow will face the same situation and be able to solve them.
This is just from second hand news and stories Malaysian vapers have shared here, or in emails and face to face. A single set of PV may or may not get taxed or even confiscated. Seems to depend on a lot of different factors. Most who have purchased mods seem to get them without any fuss. Cigarette lookalikes and Ego style is really depend on luck.

vaping e-liquids..make me drink alot of water/coffee & soft drinks and i only use 1 ml a day..how U managed to used 2-or more ml a day..i dont think i can..maybe my lung power still not strong to vape so much...hahaha..beside i only use methol and Ry4,both i like @ 18mg nicotine...maybe i will try other flavours..any to recommend? for my next order to heaven-gifts..u must try Welcome to Tasty Vapor (i like the choices & make yr own too) since U vape so much..i wrote to them, they replied & do send out to Malaysia but minimum postage around US$13..regards mafig
Hahaha....I can vape a single flavor, like RY4 or DK Tab, through the whole day, and end up using anywhere from 5 to 6 ml on normal days. Worst case is when I am especially stressed in meetings with at least one smoker or vaper, and it can get up to 15ml in a day. I find that only with stronger flavors is this possible, as most other flavors tend to get less and less flavorful as the day progresses. I would say that my taste buds get numb to the flavor and by about 2pm I taste next to nothing for most of the fruit flavors. Drinking lots of water helps a lot with the thirst and getting flavor back, but not for long.
I've already tried several of Tasty Vapor's flavors, and they are standard with US juice....strong flavors with hardly any throat hit even at 18mg. I also find that US juices tend to give different flavors on the inhale and exhale, example: orange cupcake flavor, you taste orange only on the inhale, and cupcake only on the exhale. None of them can give me a whole day vape like RY4 or Tab, which is why I tend to vape only Tab, with RY4 as a special treat (can't vape RY4 in the office, as everybody seems to hate the smell)
