Why Malaysia Works for Cross-Border E-Commerce

FTZ advantage: goods under bond with 0% import duty/SST until re-exported.
Consolidation & re-pack: QC, relabel, bundle SKUs before export.
Transparent freight: work with forwarders directly (no hidden agent mark-ups).
Trust & banking: invoice via a Malaysian Sdn Bhd in MYR or USD.

Compliance Reminder

Products must follow rules of origin. Goods cannot be labelled “Made in Malaysia” unless they undergo substantial transformation that satisfies origin requirements. Goods handled inside approved FTZs for re-export are typically outside Malaysian import duty and SST; destination-country taxes still apply. Lim & Ani Associates ensures compliance with the Companies Act 2016, Customs Act 1967 and relevant trade frameworks.
