Shipping a Warranty disk in Malaysia cost any fee?

It depends on a few factors. Yes — you *may* have to pay fees when shipping a “warranty disk” into Malaysia, depending on the value, how it's declared, and the shipment method. Here are the main things to check:

---

### What kind of fees might apply

1. **Import duty / customs duty**

Malaysia may charge import duties depending on the HS code of the item and its declared value. ([DHL][1])

2. **Sales tax / import sales tax / SST**

Goods entering Malaysia can be subject to sales tax on imports. ([DHL][2])

3. **Low-value goods threshold (“de minimis”)**

If the total *Cost + Insurance + Freight* (CIF value) of the shipment is under **RM 500**, then it is usually exempt from import duty. But even under RM 500, some low value goods tax or handling fees may apply. ([DHL][2])

4. **Courier / handling / brokerage fees**

Even if customs duty/tax is waived or low, courier companies often charge handling or clearance or documentation fees. ([FedEx][3])

### Special notes for warranty / replacement items

* If the item is being shipped *as a warranty replacement* (i.e. you’re returning the defective one or getting a replacement), sometimes the manufacturer or shipping paperwork can declare it as “Warranty / In-Warranty Replacement.”

* When that is done properly, customs may treat it differently (possibly exempt from certain fees), or at least avoid being treated like a new sale. But this is **not always guaranteed**; it depends on Malaysian customs and how the documentation is handled.

* You may need to give proof (invoice, warranty docs) to show the value and that it is a warranty case.

---

### What to do to avoid surprises

* Ask the company/manufacturer what tariff/HS code they use for warranty parts.

* Confirm with them if they will cover paperwork saying “Warranty Replacement” to help customs.

* Inquire ahead whether courier service (DHL, FedEx etc.) charges clearance fees or brokerage fees.

* Check with Malaysian customs or a local freight/courier agent, giving them the declared value, to estimate if any duty or tax will be charged.

If you tell me:

* what the disk is (brand, value),

* where it’s shipped *from*,

* and which courier service is used (or intended),

I can try to estimate roughly what fees you might face. Do you want me to do that?
