Shipping to Port Klang and Kuala Lumpur
Port Klang, on the Strait of Malacca about 40 km west of Kuala Lumpur, is Malaysia's busiest port. It is the gateway for the Klang Valley: Kuala Lumpur, Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam, Subang Jaya and Putrajaya.
Practical tips. Most international families moving to Kuala Lumpur, including participants in the Malaysia My Second Home programme, ship through Port Klang. Customs clearance is handled by a forwarding agent, and used household goods can be exempt from duty with the right approvals. Kuala Lumpur traffic is heavy, and many condominiums require a moving permit and a deposit for the lift, so book the delivery day with the building management.
Choose Port Klang also for consignees in Negeri Sembilan and Malacca.
Port Klang's Westport and Northport terminals are both used for containers.
