What is the Malaysia Customs Declaration Form?

Who must fill out the customs declaration to visit Malaysia?

Each person arriving by air who has the following to declare must fill out the form:

• Cash, bearer negotiable instruments, or other monetary instruments (such as checks, bills, or money orders) exceeding USD 10,000 or equivalent.

Absolute prohibited goods will be seized and forfeited. False declarations can lead to fines or even convictions, so it's essential to fill out the form honestly.
