my secondary account. I am philipma1957
gear came . fees for 2 units = 89 usd
could be worse. I think I won't ask many questions for the time being.
That is on par with what I paid today to clear my single B3 miner. I asked the UPS agent for a breakdoen and it was a total of $46.86 mostly Customs duty and something like $3-4 for the UPS brokerage fee to process the Customs duty and import clearance.
Either the import thresholds have changed or the miner is mis-marked for shipping code.
I'd have to look up the exact code but is supposed to be for:
Electronic equipment, computer, no terminal or display
or something like that.
It also took an odd hop in Japan -- usual route is Shenzhen > Osaka > Anchorage > etc.
This time it arrived in Narita first but then left from Osaka. Er? A bit of a trek there.
