ravellers arriving by air enjoy only RM1,000 duty-free allowance (plus 1L alcohol, three new clothings, one pair footwear, food ≤RM150 food). Anything more — including collectible trading cards — faces 10% import duty + 10% sales tax + 10% excise. “Personal belongings don’t mean tax-free,” she warned, urging declaration to avoid seizure and investigation.
