由 lltx1822 Shipping Process for Automotive Steering Gears from China to Malaysia by Sea
Malaysia’s automotive manufacturing industry has growing demand for chassis parts. Taking 10 automotive steering gears as an example, the sea shipping process must leverage ASEAN trade preferences and tropical logistics experience.
Products must meet MS certification standards, with packaging attached with Malay-English bilingual instructions including turning radius and torque parameters. Mark “Sahsi MS” (MS Certified) on outer boxes, using waterproof plywood cases to prevent moisture damage in tropical climates.
Choose weekly routes from Shenzhen Port to Port Klang with a 7-day voyage, the shortest route to Southeast Asia. Adopt “ASEAN consolidated shipping” to distribute to neighboring countries after Malaysian clearance, reducing transshipment costs by 20%.
Customs clearance requires: commercial invoice (in Malaysian Ringgit), MS certificate, ACFTA certificate of origin. Malaysia imposes a 5% tariff, reducible to 0% through ACFTA. A 10% GST is levied, which can be fully deducted. Customs inspection rate is approximately 8%, focusing on steering gear accuracy and durability testing. It is recommended to use Malaysia’s National Single Window system for electronic declaration, shortening clearance time to 2 days. After customs clearance, entrust Pos Laju for distribution; peninsular Malaysia can achieve next-day delivery with specialized vehicle for heavy parts transportation.
