I live in Ecuador. Bitmain sent mine with DHL and listed it on the invoice as a "Video Game Gateway" and listed the value about $160. Ecuadorian Customs only charged about $16 for the duty, which DHL covered and then charged me $10 for the service. So I only paid $26 more than the price of the miner and there was no delay in delivery.

On the other hand, I ordered a PSU from Tiger Direct and Customs not only held it up for a month in Guayaquil, they also charged me an additional $100 on top of the $120 price plus $50 delivery charge!
