Shipping Container Costs to Malaysia
Malaysia is one of Southeast Asiaโs most beautiful countries. Spread between the Malay Peninsula and the island of Borneo, the tropical nation is home to a gorgeous array of beaches, mountains and rainforests. There are about 32 million people living there, famous for their diverse mix of Malay, Indian, Chinese and European cultures. The stunning capital city of Kuala Lumpur is popular with expats, but there are lots of smaller cities and quiet coastal towns for people who want somewhere a bit less intense. Some of Malaysiaโs best natural beauty includes the bright green Cameron Highlands, the caves of Mulu National Park and the towering Mount Kinabalu. For spectacular weather and delicious food, you canโt do much better than Malaysia.Different shipping options
Itโs easy to move your belongings to Malaysia. After youโve decided what youโre bringing, you need to choose between two options: air freight or sea freight.For people moving in a rush, air freight is best. Most cargo planes can travel to Malaysia from anywhere in the world in only two or three days. However, air freight is also very expensive, so itโs best avoided if youโre moving on a budget.
On the other hand, sea freight is significantly cheaper, normally costing about five times less than air freight. While the service is much slower, it is also much more affordable, so itโs important that you plan your move well in advance.
If you do opt for sea freight, one of our suppliers will ship your belongings in either a 20ft or a 40ft container. For smaller volumes of cargo there is a process called Less Than Container Load (LCL), in which several people share the use of one container. Most of our suppliers offer a door-to-door service, meaning theyโll look after every part of the process from your old home all the way to your new one.
Major shipping routes
Malaysia is a major player in the global shipping industry, so itโs kitted out with lots of big ports. Its largest container terminal is Port Klang on the west coast, which is in a really handy location if youโre moving to (or near) Kuala Lumpur. Other major ports include Johor and Tanjung Pelepas (both on the south coast next to Singapore). Once your container has passed through customs, it will travel by truck or train to your new Malaysian home. ยMalaysia customs
The customs process can seem fairly daunting, but your shipping supplier will help you through it. You are required to create an inventory of everything youโre bringing into Malaysia, which is basically a detailed list of all the items inside your container. Customs officials are entitled to physically inspect your container, so itโs important your inventory matches up with what they find. See below for an idea of the things that are restricted or prohibited by Malaysian customs.You are allowed to bring your household goods into Malaysia duty-free, but the goods must be at least three months old and intended for use in your new Malaysian residence. Otherwise, the standard rate for Goods and Services Tax (GST) at the border is around 6%. Check out the official Malaysian customs website for more information.
