Yes you have to pay , how much depends on your country.

Ask the company to not list the exact name and purpose of the machine, just declare as PC parts. You also dont need to delcare the real value. If its 5k you make it 500 or 1k . Dont want to go too low or they might get suspicious.

Yes you will definitely have to pay.

Some ASIC manufacturers will be "kind" i.e. break the law, and declare a low value for you. Just have to ask them nicely :)

And if they say yes, be very suspicious.  Ask yourself why a reputable company would break the law for you, and risk having their goods detained at customs.  Customs can use google you know.

Well, if I send all my goods trough UK, customs will do nothing, because UK customs is very easy to by pass, have done many times, by sending from USA to UK and then Lithuania. They do not check anything at all.

Please tell me how UK customs are easy to pass. I have purchased an X-1 from Minersource and curious to know if UK customs hold everything or if some things manage to get through without being held.

Well, they just believe in everything what is written in declaration, they don't ever check what you send. I'm buying from minersource trough UK and then sending to Lithuania too. :)
