Since the duty and penalty tax are so high.Will you declare the import amount lower when you import the miner from China? What if the customs notice it, will there be more trouble?
Asking will you do a crime is not likely to get you honest answers.
If I buy from bitmain directly I know I am out 25-35% tax.
I figure it in.
That's right, i guess most may hide the full amount to save some import duties.
Then you guess
wrong! More to the point, the buyer has no say in what the value of a shipment is that an exporter declares to Customs. If a manufacturer or exporter cares about staying in business they will NOT 'help' you like that.
No one likes it BUT most of us here DO NOT try to 'hide' the equipment cost and
NO reputable manufacturer would ever help you to falsify the value of a shipment. A manufacturer or exporter falsifying declared value is a very good way to have their goods banned from entering a country once they are caught.
As for the recipient the equipment was destined for, yer boned. In cases like that the equipment is seized by Customs.
Thanks for the info, i am not very familiar with thant, i just heard from some shipping agents, maybe they just use their own cargo plane to deliver without doing the customs declaration one by one, kinda confused so far. As you mentioned, it's the best to follow the rule.
