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
