when i picked up my stuff, i put down a country code which is entitled to only a 10% import duty. However, i was told by the lady handling my document that i need a proof to indicate that the goods is at least 50% made in that country. As i was not able to produce it, she switch the import duty to 15%. The countries code and their respective import duty is clearly stated in the handbook at the custom. Some country like Singapore, for example do not require stamp duty on certain car parts.
countries are categorise into code DCT, DCS, DC .. i remember wat else. and they have different import duty for different parts imported.
