Re: Bitmain's Released Antminer S9, World's First 16nm Miner Ready to Order
In the USA no customs until you hit $2500 I believe. Members have ordered miners 1 at a time and mostly kept under the radar, though one had FedEx add together two shipments that arrived separately about a week apart and still charged him! 
they now charge on 1 piece around 45 usd
it could be they are count all the ones I purchased during the year.
translation order 1 = tax
order 2 = tax
order 3 = tax
this is as applied to ups
I have 3 coming today.
coins now over 15000 usa !
I had a couple of miners delivered by UPS individually, and they required me to pay with a check for the duties and taxes, however what I found out on all of my later shipments was if I picked the Miners and power supplies up from the UPS facility I was not charged at all - They just gave me the package, had me sign and I walked out without needing to pay at all. It has worked out for my last 10 shipments.
A quick 15-minute drive to save 100s of dollars on duties and taxes!
They all arrived separately though
