Re: ANN: BITMAIN has Tested Its 28nm Bitcoin Mining Chip BM1382
Does the UK still require import tax if the miner is sent from Hong Kong?
As far as I know yes, would really like to know the price first though and whether or not it's worth to get 10 of these imported to the UK. The import tax will be the real killer here. If BITMAIN could shred some light on UK import prices that would be a really proactive thing for a company to do!
It's frustrating, because I remember when the S1 cost 1.45BTC (when BTC=$800ish), they declared it at a super-low value, so that import charges were around £20. And then after a while, they started to declare at full value, meaning a 0.8BTC S1 (when BTC=$500ish) was costing more like £50-60 in import cost.
I hope they declare this new unit at a low value, as it can really affect ROI's etc!
