Sorry about the bump, I recently ordered antminer z9 not the mini and UPS tried to deliver it today. I wasn't home so I talked to them over the phone and they were charging me $922. I've already paid over $3300. What should I do?

Yeah its pretty bad how people in the USA are getting really screwed with these ASICs from China.

Not only are these ASICs overpriced and have long ROI times...
Not only are these ASICs badly built and have a high rate of failure...
Now you are faced with a huge tariff when imported in the USA.

I don't think there is much you can do. If this was Apple Inc, you can refuse shipment and they would send it back to the source address and you might get a refund, but being Bitmain in a different continent then you have no choice but to pay the import duty.

Well thanks to trump and his trade war you have to pay a 25% tariff I guess your stuck paying it or you'll lose $3300 in miners

Yes this is the Donald trump fuck you china tax.

Yep these fees will be very bad for usa customers. I can see people in the usa will no longer order antminers anymore. too much negatives, bear market, high shipping import fees, long roi, increase difficulty, lower coin prices,

Whats not to like

Get ready to be sad panda's. Thanks to this: https://money.cnn.com/2018/06/14/news/economy/trump-china-tariffs/index.html
you can expect to pay 25-30% duty on all cryptocurrency miners and a ton of other stuff coming from China. I ordered 3 z9 mini's at an end price with shipping of @ $2500. I had to fork over a COD check to UPS for $744 to cover the duties they paid before they would release the 3 miners to me.

Does anyone know how to pay these duties online for UPS in the USA ?

Import C.O.D. (ICOD) charges are due for this shipment.
The receiver must pay the duties or taxes due on the package.

UPS guy was here to deliver Antminer S9 which I ordered from Bitmain back in December 2017 purchased using BCH and paid about $2800.
I was shocked when the delivery guy said I need to pay $110 in Customs fee. Is this right amount? Who is charging me this fee US government or UPS?
I was expecting something like $25 to $30.
Any info is appreciated. Thanks

Wow! That's so good. I really envy you guys. I reside in a country where I had to pay 60USD for import fees, customs duty and some other duties listed on the form for a 90 USD (Actual Price + Shipping) Ledger Nano S. Moreover, I ordered 2 Motherboards at the same time from newegg for 300 USD (Actual Price + Shipping) and had to pay upfront 150 USD duty to courier guy. Lesson learned to never order anything international until and unless there is a marginal difference in domestic and international prices with keeping duty in mind. So, I never even look into getting ASICs from China. I'll be doomed.

Does anyone know what the import duty rate is on L3+'s and PSU's shipped from Bitmain into the USA?

Thanks

i'd like to know as well

Does anyone know?

Depends on how many you get. One unit (depending on what batch you bought/buy) and a power supply with get through at no additional cost. Four units alone will cost. Once you past a certain threshold, $2000 right now IAW https://www.cbp.gov/trade/basic-import-export/internet-purchases you may pay. Here is a quote from the link provided "Pitfalls: If the item's value is more than $2,000, it may be held at the mail facility until you can arrange for a formal entry. This may require either hiring a customs broker to clear your goods or you may file the paperwork yourself." key phrase "may be held". Other important information can be found here as well about commercial purchases having a limit of $2500 before paying duty.

After reading that link, I'm now more worried about customs delaying the delivery than I am about the import tax. Have you ever heard of any nightmare scenarios where L3's were held up for weeks in customs? I don't think the product is controversial or merits any deep scrutiny, but I'm thinking I may need to hire a customs broker to help avoid any huge delay. I ordered over a dozen L3's.

That's extremely unlikely. I have ordered many miners direct from China and I have never experienced anything out of the ordinary except very short delays when they happen to inspect the shipped product. I also live in the United States

As long as you aren't buying drugs or illegal substances even delays will be very short if at all they happen.

That's good to hear, thanks
