We have the same retroactive corrections, six figures as well, cant fight in court. At the end of the day, if you import, its your job to know what hts code to use, and correct the import docs if incorrect. The ruling is only technically a clarification of a status that already existed.
This is a huge cash grab now for the gov, they will eventually hit every import from bitmain ever.
Yeah, I'm only going to owe a few thousand, but that still sucks bigtime. Fortunately I've already sworn off of buying anything from Bitmain, which was reconfirmed in my mind when they started all this KYC stuff.
From now on, I'll only order from Blokforge and let you guys deal with CBP.
Am rather curious if they are going to hit me for smaller orders, or just called this one out since it was for over $100K worth of gear (back then...).
