TREASURY EXEMPTION UNDER SECTION 14(2) CUSTOMS ACT 1972

1.0 INTRODUCTION
To encourage the development of the various economic sectors, the government has given various incentives to boost manufacturing, petroleum, R & D and tourism industries. Exemption from the payment of customs duties under Section 14(2) Customs Act 1967 is one such provision.

2.0 LEGAL PROVISIONS
There are two (2) provisions under the Customs Act 1967, which empower the Minister of Finance to grant exemption from the payment of import duties, under Section 14 of the Customs Act 1967, the Hon Minister of Finance can either:
2.1 By Order exempt any class of goods or class of persons, or
2.2 Specifically in writing, exempt any individual or company from the payment of any customs duty or prescribed charges or fees payable.

3.0 RATIONALE
Duty exemption is a form of assistance/ incentive provided by the Government to the manufacturing sector aimed at lowering their cost of production in order to become more competitive in the international arena.
It is believed that, the benefits received in the form of reduced costs would be passed down to the consumers in the domestic market in the form of lower prices. Thus besides providing the domestic consumer the opportunity to enjoy more competitive prices on finished products, the Government's objective of curtailing inflationary pressure is also achieved.

4.0 AGENCIES INVOLVED
Three government agencies that play a major role in providing the exemption under Section 14(2) Customs Act 1967 are as follows :
Stage 1 Malaysian Industrial Development Authority (MIDA) - Application for exemption
Stage 2 Ministry of Finance (Treasury) - To approve or reject application
Stage 3 Royal Customs & Excise Department - To supervise and control

Ministry Blacklists Six Cosmetics Products

PETALING JAYA: The Health Ministry has warned the public against the use of six cosmetics products, including one from a French manufacturer, found to contain scheduled poisons.

The products BML HB Lotion, Krim Malam Shana and Natasya Gold Krim Herba are said to contain tretinoin and hydroquinone while Biotox Whitening Hydro Cream contained dexamethasone and Yoko Whitening Cream and Sue Beauty Night Treatment Cream contained tretinoin.

In a statement yesterday, the ministry's Pharmaceutical Services Senior Director Datuk Eisah A. Rahman said the use of tretinoin, hydroquinone and dexamethasone in cosmetics may cause various side effects and should only be used under medical supervision.

Tretinoin can cause redness to the skin, peeling, discomfort and sensitivity to sunlight while hydroquinone can cause redness to skin, discomfort, skin discolouration, hypersensitivity and a gradual blue-black darkening of the skin.

"It also inhibits the pigmentation process and this attenuates the ability of the skin to protect our body from harmful UV rays, which can lead to the risk of getting skin cancer," she said.

Eisah said that dexamethasone, a steroid, when used topically, can cause skin irritation, dry skin, acne, thinning of the skin and increased risk of skin infections.

Prolonged use of topical steroids may result in systemic side effects such as suppression of the adrenal glands, metabolic disturbances and immune response impairment.

"Anyone who is in possession of the products is advised to immediately cease selling, distributing or using it," she said.

Exports likely to hit RM700bil this year

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's total export value is expected to reach RM700bil this year from RM639.4bil last year.

International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamedsaid the expected increase this year would be in line with 10th Malaysia Plan export growth target of 10.6%.

According to the Miti Report 2010 that was launched yesterday, manufactured products which dominated the bulk of the country's total exports last year saw an increase of 11.6% to RM461bil against 2009, accounting for 72.1% of the total exports.

Meanwhile, mining exports increased by 28.5% to RM101.9bil while agricultural goods grew by 29.6% to RM71.8bil last year.

Specifically, the major exports last year were electrical and electronics products, palm oil, chemicals and chemicals products, liquefied natural gas and crude petroleum.

With import value growth of 21.8% to RM529.2bil last year, the trade surplus was at RM110.2bil.

In terms of foreign direct investment (FDI) this year, Mustapa was confident Malaysia would surpass or at least be at par with last year's figure of RM29bil.

“This is based on the FDI figure for the first quarter of this year at RM11bil. At this juncture, the FDI figure looks good.

“The investment committee jointly chaired by me and Pemandu chief executive officer Datuk Seri Idris Jala meets every fortnight to look at investment figures as well as issues and problem to achieve our target. At the moment, I can say that we are on track,” he told reporters at the report launch yesterday, the 19th annual report of the ministry to date.

“I am telling this because we are doing things differently now in making sure the smooth inflows of FDI into the country.”

For total trade of the country, Miti was pleased that last year's achievement of RM1.17bil, which reflected a 18.4% increase over 2009, was close to the country's pre-global economic crisis level of RM1.18bil in 2008.

“So far this year, the total trade performance has been quite good with a 10% increase in the first four months compared with the same period last year,” said Mustapa.

In terms of industries' contribution to the gross domestic products (GDP), the report said while the manufacturing sector would continue to contribute significantly to the overall GDP growth, the services sector would be developed as a growth engine and contribute 57.7% to the country's GDP this year.

Last year, the services sector contributed 57.4% to the country's GDP. By the end of the 10MP, the services sector is expected to contribute to 61% of the GDP.

Other key figures released in the report included RM47.2bil in total investments were received for 910 manufacturing projects approved and 97,319 jobs were created.

On the development of free trade agreements (FTA) in 2010, regional Asean FTAs with India, Australia and New Zealand came into force on Jan 1 while bilateral FTA with New Zealand was effective on Aug 1 last year.

Bilateral FTA with Chile and India negotiations have been successfully concluded and bilateral FTA negotiations with Turkey and the European Union have commenced.

Malaysia was also accepted as a full negotiating partner in the Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership last year.

Understand the details about Import & Export Malaysia Customs Documentation

Malaysian Customs Documentation - Custom documentation's would consist of prescribed forms which appear in the second schedule of the Customs Regulations 1977.

These prescribed forms which are applicable for the importation and exportation of goods are goods declaration forms. The type of customs declaration form that is required by the customs department depends on the type of customs procedure applicable to the goods.

The types of customs declaration forms:-

• Customs No.1 for declaration of imported goods.
• Customs No.2 for declaration of export of goods.
• Customs No.3 for application/permit to transport goods within the Federation.
• Customs No.8 for application permit to transship/remove goods
• Customs No.9 for requisition/permit to release dutiable goods.

Proper preparation of customs declaration forms is highly essential. Special attention must be given to the full description, numbers, marks, packing and weight of the packages, the unit value and the total value, and the tariff classification of the goods.Section 79 of the Customs Act 1967 requires the declaring of dutiable goods imported to give a full and true account of the number and description of packages, of the description, weight, measure or quantity, and value of all such dutiable goods and the country of origin of such goods.


The exporter of dutiable goods, on the other hand, is also required to declare the full and true account of the number and description of packages and of the description, weight, measure or quantity and the country of destination of such goods as stated in Section 80 of the Customs Act 1967.
The declaring of non-dutiable goods imported or to be exported is required to give a full or true account of the particulars for which are required in the respective prescribed forms.
Section 90 of the Customs Act 1967 allows customs declaration forms to be made by the owner of the goods or by a forwarding agent licensed by the customs department for that purpose and to be duly authorized by the owner of the goods.
