Customs Advice
The importation of certain products into a country is restricted in order to protect the economy and
safety of its citizens. The restrictions may be imposed by Customs or by any other agency which has
regulatory authority.
We provide a shipping service only and Customs at the parcel's destination will determine whether any
charges are payable on your package. All duties, taxes and/or quarantine fees applied are at the
discretion of local customs or governmental organisations and are out of our control.
If the addressee refuses to pay duties/taxes, the parcel may be held, returned (if allowed by Customs)
or destroyed, and additional costs may be incurred. As per Terms and Conditions, those charges will be
billed to the sender.
Please note, no shipping costs are recoverable for parcels held or destroyed, even if shipping
protection cover has been purchased.
Majority of parcels can be delivered door to door, once it has cleared customs at destination. However,
some countries have a door to airport service only. In those countries, the recipients may have to
present themselves to either Customs or the local courier's office to take possession of their
consignment.
We advise you to verify independently, all Customs, Governmental and Quarantine regulations. These rules
can and do frequently change without prior notice or recourse.

Economic Operator Registration and Identification (EORI)
It is now a requirement that all exporters sending freight outside of the E.U must have an EORI number

Documents Needed
After you have paid for a shipping service to Malaysia, you will be redirected

AWB (Courier Air Waybills - barcode) - Proforma or Commercial invoice - Address label.
The above documents are standard for any international shipment.
Please note, if additional documentation is required for the import of any particular item, it is the
customer's responsibility to provide them at destination.
Restrictions
Goods travelling by 'Cargo' are subject to different restrictions to those travelling as carry-on
luggage.
A shipment to Malaysia is deemed unacceptable if: it is classified as
hazardous material, dangerous goods, prohibited or restricted articles by IATA (International Air
Transport Association), ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organisation) or other relevant organisation.
Many items which appear harmless in everyday use can pose danger on air transport and are consequently
forbidden for transport.
The following page displays a sampling of common prohibited and restricted goods.

Packing Advice
Your parcel must be boxed and well packaged. This will reduce the risk of damage to any item during
transit or any associated automated distribution process.
Please be aware the item is not taken by hand from collection to destination and will visit many sorted
facilities on its journey. For that reason, you need to protect the items to ensure they make it from A
to B safely.
The following packaging guidelines are recommendations to assist you in packaging your shipment:

If you do not purchase enhanced Shipment Protection, your shipment will be only covered to a maximum
value of £50 as per the limited liability set out in our
Terms & Conditions and subject to your
parcel passing minimum packaging requirements.
Please note that the declared value for customs purposes is not related to the declared value selected

At RapidParcel.com, as you'll find if you choose to arrange a package delivery to Ampang through us, we believe that only the best will do for our customers. We offer a mixture of the finest in modern technology and time tested attributes such as attention to detail and the very best in customer service in order to ensure that we handle the process of organising shipping to Ampang with ease.
Ampang is a district in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, which first came to prominence as a centre for tin mining in the 1880s. The most famous buildings in Ampang are the Petronas Towers. At a height of 451.9 metres these were, for a period between 1998 and 2004, officially the tallest buildings in the world and, to this day, they are the tallest twin towered buildings. The "skybridge" linking the two towers is the highest two-storey bridge in the world and is designed to retract into the towers to avoid damage in high winds. Many people each year travel to Ampang specifically to take in the magnificent views from these towers.
The district of Ampang has developed rapidly in the twenty-first century. And, with this new found growth it seems likely that the demand for shipping to Ampang is only going to increase. Whether you're an individual making your first parcel delivery to Ampang or a business that has to arrange Ampang shipping on a regular basis, the process itself may initially appear a little daunting. At RapidParcel.com we understand this, and that's why we've reduced what could be the lengthy, difficult process of organising an Ampang parcel delivery down to six simple steps. Step one is choosing a courier to handle your Ampang package delivery, and we've done the work for you here by only working with the best and most trustworthy couriers available. Your first task upon visiting our site will be to enter your details and choose the deal that suits you best, reassured by the fact that we've negotiated market-leading prices for shipping to Ampang on your behalf.

Following these six logical, instinctive steps is all it takes to send parcels and packages anywhere around the world, so the same simplicity of process and dedication of service can be employed whether you're sending a parcel delivery to Johor Bahru or a package delivery to Klang, rather than an Ampang package delivery.
