Just got notified by Fed-Ex about 22 L3's that I bought long long ago.

The fun just never stops.

Has anyone been getting any of these from UPS or DHL? I've not heard of any. Seems to be all Fed Ex.

So is it simply Fed Ex who messed up and after the fact are getting this fixed, or is it just that UPS and DHL don't give a frack?

(Disclaimer: I've gotten none, but I got my stuff exclusively via UPS.)

Yup, best to take care of it all upfront.

How long ago though, if before late August 2018 it should only be the 2.6% due.

Just received another order from DHL with only 2.6% fees again. I don't know how it's getting by customs or what Bitmain is classifying them as. There is no indication of the HS code on any of my paperwork or invoices. My previous order had a sticker on the box that said server, so maybe Bitmain is classifying them under 8471.50 again.

Good for you. Remember DHL, Fed Ex, UPS can come after you later for fees. I have a buddy with a data hall and FED EX are trolling back 2 years or so at the max I think. (so far).

It seems I hear MAINLY of Fed Ex being proactive on this. Have not heard of any from DHL nor UPS. (I got most of my stuff UPS back in the day...so whew).

It costs $75 my buddy told me to challenge EACH fee that Fed Ex says you owe. Win or Lose the effort. So far he has just paid. Anyway, how I've heard it shakes out from my end of the universe. (USA).

Well, it has now been 1 year since I bought any ASIC's, thus I guess the "hard withdrawal" of the addiction is now passed...

Is there ANYTHING on the horizon (9 months or more?) of any note or possibility? (We are talking 10c kWh Winter rates USA and last I looked now 14c kWh Summer rates for 5 months.)

Yeah. We are 'hosed.' Sad

I think it has been good for us I think it restricted difficulty a lot which is a good thing in general.

Of course it absolutely sucks for importers.

But if you think of the build up of want on behalf of USA buyers a raise to 40% for the summer then a drop off to 5 or 10% in the fall would make for a huge or bigly amount of purchases. Thus having a solid fourth quarter pump. I see this happening or at least it is my hope for it to happen.

Expansion was planned for the beginning of the year. Anything 10% moved up to 25%. For us that's import duties on PSUs.

They announced talks I think Nov'18 to try and negotiate a trade deal looks like we know how it turned out now.

Trump says he is going to expand tariffs with China on Friday. Figured it was appropriate in this thread.

No new updates as of yet besides that the goods on 10% tariff wouldn't be increased as planned this year.

Trade war on US citizens continues. . . . I mean China.

Is there any real progress on the USA Tariffs being redacted any time soon or are we looking at another year of 25% tariffs and 2.5% import fees in the USA?

Not saying it matters at the moment. Not a lot of ASIC equipment of any flavor that makes sense to get these days even used stuff.

Just figured I'd ask, you folk may be more on top of what may or may not be happening as far as progress on all this stuff with Tariffs on China/Canada etc, etc.

Receiver is responsible for duties always unless noted with freighter. Which is why it's optional for solo buyers to use our tax id and mandatory for group buyers.

Yeah they could impose a fine but since the sender improperly did this on a wide scale I don't think they will fine us.

If anyone can donate to this bitcoin even if it is pennies we would be extremely grateful as we are trying so save up to build a care home however it is extremely difficult to get the sort of money we need from 13 people. The money that is donated will be to supply various things such as toilets electrics showers washing machines as well as building the plot. The wallet address is below

Now it’s fun to remember that there were such times, mining will not stop anyway, but a significant reduction in power may adversely affect the security of the Bitcoin blockchain.

Interpretations? So you've proposed a new ruling?

Essentially we decided to not pursue mining hardware but went after the materials we source, even those outside of this area as those won't change so frequently. With hardware updating every three months you would have to know what is going to be released for a product exemption of the added tariffs. Just since late august there have been maybe 8-10 new releases? Coupled with de minimus threshold, market valuation, just seemed like patience is all that is needed when looking at product side.

What we really need to look at is supporting our good actors in domestic manufacturing like Gekko Science.

I'll be excited to see your submits on regulations.gov once available. Exemptions excepted or not I still think congratulations are in order!

Its good)
