Does anyone know if it is a UPS agent who assigns the HST import codes to packages or if it is a customs agent for the government who assigns the HST import code to packages?

That's a good question. I know in my case it would be UPS as I have contractual agreement that assigns them as acting broker for export/imports.
It could also be Bitmain that is assigning HST codes. I know when I export large volume via other freight companies, I'm required to select HST codes as exporter on customs documentations.

I'd contact UPS before paying the bill. With Fedex I contacted them prior to paying. They said they would file a grievance claim on my behalf, during which payment would be put on hold and would incur no additional late fees. They did say it could take up to 6 months to resolve the change.

thank you very much!!!

ORDERING: I have gone to individual orders. One of the first orders I placed was for 8 and had to pay about $65. That was the last time I ordered in bulk on one order. Although it takes me more time, I place individual orders now.

Keep us posted on how it goes DMwardjr. That's a huge bill so if you're able to get them to hold the charge for 6 months or win, that's almost another S7 right there! =)

Also not dutiable, but that doesn't mean that they wont take it up front, and dealing with UPS' post entry department makes SCOTUS decisions look rapid.

Please clarify what you mean with that statement???

Does this mean I might can handle it with UPS since they are the one's wanting me to send the money to them; which means I won't have to deal with Customs?

Yes, assuming you have a UPS account of any appreciable volume, their post entry department should handle the customs claim for you, though there is a very limited window in which to file it, and as mentioned, time frames for recovery can be long, think next calendar year and don't count on the funds. Wink

You mean they will not give me the funds back if I pay them now?

Wow, that's a lot for duties/customs.
All the s5's I ordered via UPS never resulted in duty/custom fees. I was under the impression the express shipping included most duty/taxes with UPS.
Most of my S7 purchases I used Fedex as the shipping rate was lower than UPS, about 8 bucks per unit. I ended up paying $8 bucks duty/customs via Fedex on the first few orders.
Then batch 5, 20 pieces someone screwed up and put $128k for value - but even with that, they were only requesting $440 duty/tax. Should have only been $160 based on correct declared value.
Last batch 8 order - 10 pieces I decided to go back to UPS because I never had duty/custom fees before with them. That could be because I have an import/export contract with them in place though.

I was SHOCKED, to say the least... Shocked

I'm still trying to determine if it is an employee of UPS who assigns HST codes for imports or if it's someone from the government?

Probably not a bad idea. It means I would have to purchase different wire shelves to go on top of my IBM 2880's. I would then set the S7's on top of the wire shelf that is resting on top of the 2880 PSU's.

You could just cannibalize one and make a single rack with 10 shelves instead of five... At the price you really can't go wrong, and then you can get higher density without much hassle.

That's one fun thing about the Avalons - I use 2 per 2880, and I just put it on top of them, so makes setup a breeze.

I actually have the same RACK but the taller 72", wider 48" and deeper 18" which is more useful and you're right, since there's so many shelves, you can make it as dense as you want or cannibalize from another if you want as it's cheap enough. I'm actually using it as a 36" Tall denser rack until I have more miners setup. These RACK are plenty strong. The silver one is actually super nice. Way nicer in person then in the picture. You can see and buy them at Sams Club too. I love the wheels as they're lockable and you can remove them if you dont want to use them. I use the wheel often in my garage as I'm still moving things around and testing air flow and everything else. It's a great rack for cheap and I wouldn't recommend anything less than 18" deep version as some larger PSU and future proofing.

Who is it that assigns an HST code for imports into the USA?

Is it UPS or is it someone with the government?

This pisses me off...

I got a bill in today from UPS for $889.63 for the 23 x S7's batch 8 I received on December 22, 2015. It would have been nice to know this before my purchase. I'm not using UPS to ship from China anymore. No consistency at all. I've had a $17,000+ purchase, $9,000+ purchase and $7,500+ purchase from China using UPS before and never had anything but brokerage charge ranging from $39 to $69. This time it's $890.00. This sucks! I can still pay it no problem. It's just not appreciated when it comes as a complete surprise.

Wow, that's a lot for duties/customs.
All the s5's I ordered via UPS never resulted in duty/custom fees. I was under the impression the express shipping included most duty/taxes with UPS.

Agreed...

And I was going to buy 3 of these and cannibalize one to make 5 shelves on each rack.

I just thought I would let you know that HomeDepot is having a great deal on the best metal rack in the business. It has 3 support braces per shelf. The deal is good up until January 31, 2016 or until supplies last. Amazon has it for $311.00. Sam's Club has it for $249.00. HomeDepot is selling it for $169.99 plus tax. If you have it shipped to a local store and pick it up there yourself, you will have no cost for shipping. It will cost you to have it shipped to your house. Here's the link: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Gladiator-4-Shelf-73-in-H-x-77-in-W-x-24-in-D-Welded-Steel-Garage-Shelving-Unit-GARS774SZG/204280487

While not as heavy duty, I'm a big fan of these baker's shelves:

http://amzn.to/1NYiBVI

It takes two to equal the same capacity as that one, but it comes in at $120 so you could almost buy 3 for the same amount - plus it has five shelves instead of 4. For miners like the S7's, they're more than capable of holding them. The only time I've used ones like you listed is when I had a ton of scrypt miners that were huge and weighted a ton, then I didn't feel really good about the bakers racks, even though technically they say they can hold the weight.
