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's crazy. My understanding is the state determines the tax.

The state as in "New Jersey"? I doubt it. They would want to collect sales tax obviously but they're not there yet. And that would be more than $89 anyway. There is probably some bullshit "convenience fee" in that amount.

yes broker fee is around 60 and the import tax is about 29.

I did a lot of research after the fact  and will no longer order an s-9 until it drops to 1600 usd plus shipping  as over 2000 is kind of subject and over 2500 is subject to tax.

Yep, learned that lesson on an S7 buy where the total for two miners was $2,100. Broker fees seem to vary depending on the company UPS uses. When this happened to me, my broker fees were much lower but it took much longer (5-7 days) to clear with the company and was somewhat of a nightmare. Seems to have gone smoothly/quickly in your case.

1 day delay.
