Hello,
i have few L3+ shipped and held in customs from >12days. after examination Deputy commissioner replied to DHL as, "Found Bitcoin miners, it is under import policy restrictions and can not be cleared" and DHL team mailed me to contact the DC in person , if so they will arrange an appointment. i see that there are many indian friends, especially from Bangalore on this forum. Some of them might already faced such issues.kindly provide some help about how to deal with this issue and past experiences and clear the miners from customs.Thank you

with regards

Maybe a in person audience with the Deputy commissioner involving a discreet handover of a rupee-filled envelope could be expedient.
Or just tell him they are for research purposes.
Or that these are for litecoins, not for bitcoins.

1st you have to make sure that there is a policy to place bitcoin miner under restrictions
2nd you find a description about bitcoin miner in the policy or from customs point of view, make sure that only bitcoin not all crypto currency
3rd you start to argue that its not bitcoin miner but a scrypt miner for litecoin

Imho, restrictions usually place under HS code, so maybe put the right HS code will solve the problem

Last step.. ask the customs expert to help you out.

Mine is also stuck in UPS warehouse in China for over 12 days. UPS is saying that I need to contact seller and Bitmain is telling me to wait few more days and "do not worry"...
