I think item is not clear about something as manufacture, origins, specifications, invoice...
Customs do not accept to export/import it.
If it will be exported from china, i think when it go to your country, it will have same problems with customs in your country

Odd...  I would think Bitmain has sent enough of these to not make that mistake.  Who knows though.  I should probably contact them.  :-/

This time the packages are marked 'Bitcoin Miner', when Bitmain shipped S1's they were marked 'computer gateway' which is a much simpler term, making customs people identify it as a computer part.  'Bitcoin miner' probably sets up their 'does not compute' alarm.
My B1 was delayed for a couple of days in Schenzen, so I contacted UPS.  Their response was "Our records show that the your shipment was held in China due to security screening that is beyond UPS control" - maybe there is some new security alert that causes this - there was recently some news that people carrying electronic equipment for flights need to show that it is 'real', that is charged and functioning, maybe our miners had to be 'quarantined' for a while because of this issue - just speculating.
I hope that you get your miners soon.

Cheers
