Full Details
Posting cosmetics to Malaysia in personal quantities is permitted — registration and notification regimes govern marketing cosmetics, not personal parcels. Royal Malaysian Customs Department (RMCD) applies the ordinary parcel framework to an accurate CN22/CN23 declaration: import VAT/GST at 10% SST / 6% service applies above the exemption threshold, plus duty on above-threshold consignments. Sales and Service Tax (SST) de minimis threshold was lowered from MYR 500 to MYR 500 for most goods, but for goods from major e-commerce platforms the threshold may be lower. Import duty de minimis is also generally MYR 500. Check RMCD for most current guidance as low-value goods rules were under revision. Aerosols and nail varnish are dangerous-goods limited quantities for air mail; bulk or repeated identical parcels are treated as unregistered commercial imports.
Keep parcels to personal quantities and declare contents specifically ('face cream', not 'gift'). Check carrier rules for aerosols and nail varnish — they are the commonly refused items in this class.

Pos Malaysia and customs assess duties on international parcels. Goods valued above MYR 500 are subject to import duties and SST. Prohibited items cannot be imported regardless of value.
