duty free restriction

Hi

True. The 48 hour rule does not apply to Non-malaysians.

Langkawi is a duty free island, the 48 hour restriction is for Malaysians, so that they will not pop over to Langakwi to buy lots of cheap stuff then head back home and avoid paying duty / tax on it.

As a passport holder from another country, the normal duty free allowances for importing into your home country will apply.
