How Much Does It Cost to Ship to Malaysia?
Shipping costs depend on:
- Item size & weight
- Seller (Amazon vs. third-party seller)
- Shipping method (Standard vs. Priority)
- Delivery destination (West vs. East Malaysia)
Here’s a general idea:
| Item Type | Shipping Fee (Estimate) | Delivery Time |
|---|---|---|
| Books | $7 – $15 USD | 2 – 4 weeks (standard) |
| Electronics | $15 – $40 USD+ | 7 – 14 days |
| Small Accessories | $5 – $10 USD | 2 – 3 weeks |
| Large items | $40 USD+ | Varies (heavy/bulky) |
⚠️ Note: Amazon often includes import taxes upfront, so the total price may seem higher — but it saves you from paying customs upon delivery.
What Can’t Be Shipped to Malaysia?
Some categories are restricted or not eligible for international shipping:
- Flammable goods (e.g., perfumes, aerosols)
- Certain electronics with battery or voltage issues
- Perishable food items
- Oversized or fragile products
- Some third-party sellers may not ship internationally
Always check product details before ordering.
✈️ Alternative Options: Parcel Forwarding Services
If Amazon doesn’t ship an item directly to Malaysia, you can use services like:
- MyUS
- Stackry
- Shipito
- BuyandShip Malaysia
These give you a US or SG shipping address, and then forward your package to Malaysia (with additional cost and handling time).
Do You Have to Pay Customs Tax in Malaysia?
Yes — for goods above RM500, Malaysian customs may charge:
- Sales tax (SST)
- Import duties (depending on product type)
However, if you paid through Amazon’s Import Fees Deposit, it usually covers everything, and you won’t be charged extra when your parcel arrives.

Amazon does ship to Malaysia — and it can be very convenient if you know what to look for. Just remember:
- Check for international shipping eligibility
- Be aware of import fees
- Compare costs and delivery time
