Simple and doesnt need to be a lie..

So just tell them its fpga and you have a project that requires custom programming with fpga.. I would avoid mentioning word cryptography. . Especially when you mention china..

Got a call from UPS to confirm the value of the items as there was a mismatch between the invoice and the reported value - no idea what that means.
They send me an email to which I just replied that I am a private buyer and confirmed the value of $120.

UPS also attached a copy of the invoice that states: Computer Game Gateway, so I wonder if UPS decides to ask questions how do I best explain what I am buying, so it doesn't raise any concerns.

Just explain that they're high performance cryptographic machines, coming from China. Customs loves that. Tongue

That sounds too suspicious Grin

Any other plusible explanation?

The description on the invoice is already a lie: they think its hardware for gaming.
I might be just paranoid, but I want to know what to say if they start asking questions

Just say 'I know, it is an absolute bargain" and that you could not refuse at that price!

What is an absolute bargin Roll Eyes

Imagine they call you and ask: what is the item exactly?

Just say 'How much is the tax', 'Can I pay it by card' and pay it. In the long run it is the cheapest option.

If you question the amount of tax they will get more interested, if you enter into a discussion then the tax will go up, if you do not pay the tax you will not get it and would have lost what you have paid for it.

That is the problem with Chinese outfits that lie on customs documents. Yes it saves you the tax/duty, but if the transaction gets questioned you're in the unenviable position of either having to say that the description is wrong and it's really something else or trying to get it released without outright lying to the customs officials in order to get it released.

Personally, I'd rather just pay the tax. I do a decent number of crossborder Canada/US trips, and the unilateral power of those guys to detain and hold people is unbelievable. Once you get on their list as someone who tries to avoid paying taxes, you get your scarlet letter and special treatment every time you go through.

For those who may have missed it.
I have added Antminer solution into the hardware vs network performance comparison sheet.

Hi, I recieved a shipment notice for order: 00120140121115245233eaTffD6g06AD but instead of a valid UPS tracking number I was sent instead the Order ID in the tracking number field. Website bug?

Can you please update me with my tracking number in a PM or update my account on the website? My order is shown in the tracking number field there also.

Thanks!

Why do I think that loads of people whining at UPS because UPS has a plane problem is going to f^&k it all up for the rest of us.

'Ohhh....my important box worth $120 is going to be a couple of days late and is going to cost me lots of missed BTC's'

Hmmmm...important $120 computer game gateway.....I smell a con says UPS, I think we will tell Customs to investigate.
