Full details

Wine duty-free allowances are separate from spirits in many countries and are often more generous given wine's lower alcohol content. The UK permits 18 liters of still wine duty-free for personal import. Australia allows 2.25 liters of wine duty-free. In the reverse direction (taking wine out of Malaysia): allowed — Personal wine for own consumption may be exported from Malaysia freely; destination-side rules apply on arrival.

Leaving Malaysia with wine

ALLOWEDPersonal wine for own consumption may be exported from Malaysia freely; destination-side rules apply on arrival.

Wine for personal consumption is freely exportable from Malaysia. Destination-country customs rules govern the arrival side. Excise duty is remitted at export for commercial quantities.

QUANTITY CHECK

litres

Travellers' relief: wine, spirits, beer or malt liquor not exceeding 1 L in total; new apparel up to 3 pieces; food preparations up to RM150; all other goods up to RM500 in total value — cigarettes, tobacco products, e-cigarettes and vaping liquids are excluded from the relief. Goods from the Labuan, Langkawi and Tioman duty-free islands follow separate rules.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

Standard wine allowance typically 2-4L per traveler 18+. Above the allowance, excise + 6% VAT. Declare at Red Channel with purchase receipts.
