Has anyone in the U.S. had problems with customs? My packages got held up and had a status of "A valid tax ID or deferment number is missing and is required for clearance." They were in Anchorage, Alaska when I got that status update. Customs and/or UPS is telling me Bitmain didn't put a tax ID on the boxes and they had to have my SSN and I'm going to be required to pay a tax on them now. What the hell...

I doubt you will pay tax. Perhaps a small brokerage fee if that. I had this kind of thing with Bitmain, or maybe it was Spondoolies, don't remember. Just call UPS, supply the required paperwork, you may need to fill out an FCC form too.

They called at 7:30AM this morning. They just wanted my SSN and didn't say I needed to fill out any other forms or provide anything else. They said something about having to pay 32$. I hope that's for all 14 boxes and not 32$ each. Huh

I don't know why I'm being required to pay anything else at all, what a bunch of BS. Bitmain needs to start putting required info on their packages!

I think it's just UPS brokerage fee. Maybe that's why you don't need to fill out forms, they'll do it for you for the $32

. Let us know how it turns out.
