How car import duty is calculated in Malaysia (2026)

Malaysian customs (Kastam) stacks three taxes on a reconditioned import, then age-based depreciation is applied to the FOB value before the taxes are worked out. This is the same formula our calculator and AI assistant use on every quote.

  • Import duty

    30% of the CIF value (cost + insurance + freight) on a non-ASEAN CBU car

  • Excise duty

    60%–105% depending on engine capacity and body type (saloon vs SUV/MPV)

  • Sales tax (SST)

    10%, charged on the value after import + excise duty

  • EV (2026 rules)

    Flat 10% excise + 5% (China/ACFTA) or 30% (non-FTA) import duty — the blanket CBU EV exemption ended 31 Dec 2025

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to import a Smart to Malaysia?

Estimated on-the-road prices for recon Smart models currently range from about RM 82,000 to RM 106,000, including 30% import duty, excise duty, 10% SST, registration and our service fee. The exact figure depends on the model, year and mileage — ask Alita for a precise quote.

Can I import a used Smart from Japan, the UK or Australia?

Yes. We source reconditioned Smart units from all three markets. As a pre-order importer, a car from Japan typically reaches Malaysia in about 6–8 weeks after you book, with sourcing, shipping, customs and JPJ registration handled end-to-end.

Is the price on this page the final price?

No — these are estimates to guide you. The final on-the-road price is confirmed against the specific unit and the current weekly Kastam exchange rate when you request a quote.

Do I need an Approved Permit (AP) to import a Smart?

Yes — every reconditioned import needs an AP. 廣男講車 is a PEKEMA-registered AP holder, so the AP, customs clearance and JPJ registration are all handled for you as part of the service.

How long does it take to get a recon Smart in Malaysia?

As a pre-order importer, a Smart sourced from Japan typically arrives in about 6–8 weeks after you book; units from the UK or Australia can take a little longer depending on shipping.
