Effective 01st July 2025, The Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (IRBM) will enforce new mandatory data requirements for all Import shipments into Malaysia, in alignment with the upcoming E-Invoicing implementation.

As part of this initiative aimed at enhancing data accuracy, Customs clearance efficiency and integration across stakeholders, the following Consignee information must be provided to our ESL offices at the time of Booking / Shipping Instructions :

  • Consignee’s Business Registration Number (BRN)
  • Tax Identification Number (TIN)
  • Sales and Services (SST) Number
  • Malaysia Standard Industrial Classification Code (MSIC)

The above is applicable for shipments where Port of Discharge, Final Place of delivery, and Consignee’s address is Malaysia. Not applicable for shipments where Port of Discharge, Final Place of delivery is Malaysia, but the Consignee’s address is not Malaysia.

For consignments listed as “To Order” or addressed “To Banks” the Business Registration Number (BRN), Tax Identification Number (TIN), Sales and Services (SST) Number, Malaysia Standard Industrial Classification Code (MSIC) and Business Description of the Notify party must be provided.

Shippers are responsible for ensuring the required details of the Malaysia consignee or notify party are provided prior to shipping to avoid delays and ensure compliance.

Thank you for your support and partnership with ESL.
