Introduction
Importing goods from China to Malaysia offers businesses significant cost advantages and access to a wide range of products. However, the process involves various regulations, logistics, and compliance requirements. At Angkut Logistics, we simplify your import process with our reliable and efficient freight forwarding services. Whether you are new to importing or looking for a trusted partner, this guide will walk you through the key steps and best practices to ensure a smooth import experience.
Step 1: Identify the Right Products and Suppliers
Before importing, conduct market research to determine product demand and identify reliable suppliers. Popular sourcing platforms include Alibaba, 1688, and Made-in-China. Angkut Logistics offers buyer services to help you find trustworthy suppliers, ensuring quality and cost-effectiveness.
Step 2: Understand Import Regulations and Customs Duties
Malaysia imposes specific import regulations depending on the product category. Ensure your goods comply with the Royal Malaysian Customs Department regulations. Key aspects to consider include:
- Prohibited and Restricted Goods – Some items require permits or are banned.
- Import Duties and Taxes – Rates vary based on the Harmonized System (HS) code.
- Customs Clearance Process – Documentation such as invoices, packing lists, and import licenses may be required.
Angkut Logistics provides expert customs brokerage services to ensure a hassle-free clearance process.
Step 3: Choose the Right Shipping Method
Selecting the right shipping option depends on factors such as budget, urgency, and cargo size. Angkut Logistics offers flexible and cost-effective solutions:
- Air Freight – Fast and ideal for high-value, time-sensitive shipments.
