Leaving Malaysia with gps units

ALLOWEDConsumer GPS units may be exported from Malaysia freely at personal-use quantities.

Personal-use consumer gps units may be taken out of Malaysia without export formalities. Consumer satellite-navigation devices face no export controls from any covered country. Destination-side rules vary — a few jurisdictions have historically restricted GPS or satellite-communication devices on arrival.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

Standard personal-effects allowance applies for GPS Units in Malaysia. Keep the device in cabin baggage per IATA lithium-battery rules; carry the original purchase receipt if the value is over the destination's de minimis (USD 68). Repair-and-return status is unrestricted; commercial-quantity carriage requires a separate commercial import declaration.
