Contact me if you believe we can do business. If we can work on avoiding customs, seizure, taxes and slow delivery together, we would surely have a great profitable relationship. I would be willing to buy small quantities such as 2-3 as well as huge quantities such as 200+.
Don't worry. Escrow is a must.

You are going to have trouble finding quantities of 200+ willing to do this. Most likely you will be buying a few at a time working with individuals.

200+ is reseller area, individuals don't have that.

Thank you very much for the offers and suggestions. What would suit me best is buying used slightly outdated working gear, such as s3 for example. When s5 becomes outdated I would then start buying them. I would appreciate offers from big farmers who often upgrade, since it would be a profitable relationship for both parts. All these old miners who often pile up your warehouse/get trashed away or sold at a very small price to dozens of buyers wasting you time and headache can have a single buyer instantly when you don't want them anymore.

I am not asking for discount or anything, just instead of declaring a miner for example $350 just say it actually cost $30 so I can fight back against this theft done by government mafia. I'd still pay same price to seller.

+ government will overtax, meaning it will raise the value based on tax regardless of being changed or not. They will just assume everyone does so.

Yeah, no.

Your best bet is cloud mining if import duties are so high.

or used from a private party that can accomdate you on what to put on the invoices on shipping a miner into you

Tons of pre owned Sptech stuff now available. Just check the threads.

Try looking for a Person/Company/Datacentre in your country of brazil that also utilizes asics
Maybe you could get something internally in your country without having to rely on international postage

It was already suggested to use a data center - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.11278346

OP wants his miner to be with him. Which I can understand, not sure what he figured out on tax front. Don't think he updated us.

Where am I?

Why not buy from someone and have the control boards removed?

Then you can ship the miners at a scrap value cause they are non operational.
Then have the controller shipped separately to a different address and name at a value of what its worth? $25-$35?

Not illegal and better then just lying on the paperwork about value, your just walking that thin grey line between the laws.

Either way best of luck. Glad to see someone trying very hard to mine themselves.

There is no way for the buyer to claim he did not receive the package or tell it was lost. That's not how it works, do not talk what you have no idea of.
Regular postal service is handled by brazilian state company and since it's a service handled by the state it naturally is corrupt. Mailmen may be stolen by thieves in the street or mailman may steal the shipment himself. This would happen with cellphones and other things. I don't see how a mailman would be interested in an asic.
Courier service is handled by dhl,ems and fedex do not have such problems.

I would take the loss.
This topic is being nothing but derailed with false accusations and other things.

Only an idiot would ship anything to Brazil. In most instances, packages are "lost" and never arrive... whether the items are stolen by postal service employees or delivered but claimed to be lost by the buyer.

Just Google "eBay shipping to Brazil" for an interesting read.

At least I'm not the only one to consider it a bad idea to send falsified packages to Brazil. If it get's lost, damaged, etc and you put 30 dollars as he requested as value someone is going to be taking a big loss.

OP did not state if he would take the loss or if person shipping would be taking the loss.

Some ASIC suppliers have no problem with lower value on invoice. But if any problem in transport (shipment lost/damaged) - insurance is then only for low value.

Looking for campaign manager? Contact icopress!

I see a few options.

1. Maybe you have a good friend - or somebody you trust and wants to help - and can buy the ASIC for you (with your money, I guess), in US, then re-send it to you, declaring smaller value.
But there's some risk: I live in such type of country too and, if the value is much smaller than the reality the post employees may "lose" it. And yeah, if it's broken, or if there are delivery problems, it's gonna be quite a problem between you and your friend.

2. (based on 1) If you are good on electronics and your friend is also good on electronics, maybe you can do something like sending the ASIC piece by piece, staying, maybe, under the minimum for tax and still not being a nice target fro theft at postal office.

It's a tough task. I wish you best of luck. Really.

I know bitmain used to lower invoice, but now they unfortunately do it any longer. Seems EU has problem with it, but my country does not. All they would do is overcharge me and that's it.

I have no problem buying used 100% functional gear (naturally it would have to cost cheaper than brand new gear)
I created a new market thread here about it: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/wtb-mining-equipment-1047203

I cannot purchase local because nearly nobody mine in my country, due to government putting too much tax on electricity and import (and everything else over here, this is the worst country in the world political-wise)
Those who want to sell gear will not be ready to sell for much less what they paid for because they also paid heavy taxes.

What happens if it is caught for having to low of declared value? Will OP or person sending it take the hit financially?

Nothing happens. Government will just tax based on whatever they believe it is actually worth then, doing small or no research on its actual price. This would happen with lower invoice too most likely. I would take the hit, no problem. At least sender tried to help me.

I'd do it in a heartbeat....but alas,I have no miners to sell Cry

how did it go...did you make enough coin on your miners to at least show ROI on paper with elec etc etc

me I'm pretty close....I may pull out of this my mistaken purchase of the 1st batch no refund no roi titan...found a 2nd titan at a price it will roi in 4.5 months (2 months to go)with elec
I hopefully can use that to lever out the 1st titan mistake...well at least on paper..(ego balm) still holding...also helps that LTC difficulty is lower then when I got the 1st Titan exactly 2 days short of 6 months ago..........my frigging home mining edeavors are like the old tv show LOST much confusion in the plot line..I just hope it turns out better then the tv series...

i've always been more of the dumb and lucky type with all this mining...but when these titans get to doorstop status I'm out

maybe ..maybe a 400 buck toy for the whirly lights and pretty LCD's as a baby miner....but thats it....I'm out... www.coinbase.com is my friend

so.......looking doable (if a squeaker)

ah what the heck .probably would have used the $$$$ to buy a bass boat ..and it probably would have 'sunk' anyway

Ummm buy used in country would that not solve the problem?

Not like you are going to buy a tone of miners so shop locally.

That would be best solution. With that you don't have to make false documents.

I just see lots of problems possibly. What happens if it is caught for having to low of declared value? Will OP or person sending it take the hit financially?

When we sold off our SP30's in Norway they were snapped up quickly. No importation taxes were a big reason they sold so quickly.

I knew this would happen, so I am going to set this straight already, again:
I want hardware to be mine, at my eye sight.
I want to mine myself.
I have access to cheap energy.
I have a 120% outrageous import tax to a corporation that will do NOTHING but steal my money and strip my freedom. They won't do anything. I get in with the money, shipper gets in with the logistics and seller gets in hardware. Government is not necessary to get in with their guns pointed to my head. I don't want this thread to be a statism lover paradise praising you should abide to all laws and love government. It's easier to judge when you pay 15% import tax instead of 120% (at best!)

If anyone knows of any corporation or person that sells used or new hardware with lower invoice, please do let us know. I am sure other people will be interested too.
Thank you.

PS: If anybody reading this and thinking of scam me, don't waste your time. I won't do a escrow-less trade with an unknown person/corporation, nor am I stupid.

So you are looking for someone to falsify documents to avoid governmental taxes?

Is this correct looking for someone to break laws for your to save money?

Sounds like the gov f*cking people, can't blame the ppl for wanting to f*ck the gov back. Besides, Bitmain used to send with shifty paperwork, as have others in the past. I'm not sure if any are/will now though, OP would prob have better luck buying used from private sellers.
