Leaving Malaysia with personal medical device

ALLOWEDPersonal medical devices may be exported from Malaysia freely at personal-use quantities.

Personal-use personal medical devices may be taken out of Malaysia without export formalities.

Carry the prescribing letter and travel with devices in cabin baggage; airlines exempt medical equipment from cabin-bag limits on request.

Quantities should reflect the trip length (typically ≤90 days' supply). Some products that are OTC in the origin country are prescription-only or restricted in the destination — verify the destination's medicine framework at Royal Malaysian Customs Department (RMCD) or the destination Ministry of Health portal before travel.
