Title: US Customs tariff change
Post by: nunzioc on May 08, 2018, 08:45:54 PM
Just checking if anyone has information on US Customs changing the tariff code of imported miners from duty-free 8504.50.4000 to a new code triggering a duty of 2.8%? I also heard this change is retroactive for all miners imported since the beginning of 2018! Obviously a bit of unexpected cost. Thanks.

Customs tried to make it retroactive to the beginning of 2017 and saddled us with an outrageous bill for it all.

Are you going to challenge it? What are the options?

We are currently contesting it, but I think we are a ways out from an answer, customs doesnt seem to have their shit together on the specifics of the change either.

Would also like to look through this.
