Import Requirements
Import Licence in Malaysia

Import licence is a permit that allows an importer to bring in a specified quantity of certain goods during a specified
period. Import licences are employed as means of restricting outflow of foreign currency to improve a country's
balance of payments position and to protect the domestic industry from foreign competition.

At present as per the Malaysian import trade policy, most imports can be admitted under an open general licensing
regime. However, specific import licences are required for certain controlled items which are intended for import into
the country. These items are explosives and firearms, motor vehicles, plants, certain pharmaceuticals, tin ore, soil
samples and various foodstuffs. A restrictive import licensing regime is also charged on heavy construction
equipment, electrical household appliances, and iron and steel products. Applications for import licences should
indicate the identities of the purchaser and supplier and a general description of the items and market value.
