②Health (functional) foods generally have a specific consumption range (specific groups of people); while general foods have no specific consumption range.
③General foods also contain physiologically active substances. Due to the low content, they cannot reach the concentration that regulates functions in the human body and cannot achieve their efficacy. The physiologically active substances in health-care (functional) foods are extracted, separated, and concentrated (or some physiologically active substances with higher purity are added), so that they can reach the concentration that exerts their effects in the human body, thus possessing the third quality of food. Three functions.

J9. Malaysian Import Considerations
Understand Malaysian Import and Export Duties in One Go!
Duty Classification and Import/Export Duties
Malaysia adopts the Harmonized System (HS) for classifying goods. All import and export goods are subject to Sales and Services Tax (SST) unless specifically exempted, with the tax rate varying depending on the goods. You can check Malaysian customs duty rates at: Malaysian Customs Duty Rates
Import Duties
Applicable tax rates depend on the origin of the goods, and proof of origin must be provided. For more information on product origins, visit the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) website: MITI Product Origin Information.
Approximately 75% of imported goods to Malaysia are duty-free, with an average tax rate of about 6%. Countries with Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) with Malaysia enjoy lower tariff rates, which can be checked using MITI’s FTA Tariff Calculator: FTA Tariff Calculator.
The Customs Duties Order (2017) outlines all applicable rates for countries without trade agreements with Malaysia: Customs Duties Order 2017.
Export Duties
Except for Malaysia’s primary commodities (such as crude oil and palm oil), almost all goods are exempt from export duties. Applicable rates range from 0% to 15%, depending on the category of goods. For more details on export duty rates, refer to the Customs Duties Order (2017).

PS. Work Experience Insights:
- For food products, Chinese labels are required.
- Japanese Ichiran Ramen needs a Chinese label but does not require an application and can be tested directly in Taiwan.
- Roasted coffee beans are classified as food, while unroasted green coffee beans require applications from both the Bureau of Animal and Plant Health Inspection and Quarantine under the Ministry of Agriculture and the Taiwan Food and Drug Administration under the Ministry of Health and Welfare.
- For importing pet food and supplements (excluding meat) to Taiwan, both individuals and companies need to go through formal customs declarations. Before shipping, applications must be submitted to both customs and the Bureau of Animal and Plant Health Inspection and Quarantine under the Ministry of Agriculture.
