Yes absolutely fine. I've had several shipments reach me without a hitch, although Ive always used FedEx and not DHL.

Great, how much duty and taxes they charged you?
Also how many units you got shipped together , was it 1 unit only or 5 units together?

I am asking this because in some countries there are limitations like if you import something of value more than $2500 you need extra processing works to do or a import license etc?

Ive ordered batches and singles. Customs almost always comes up to 5% Invoice value, and an additional 30$ or so in documentation. Here if it crosses 300$ then you pay 5% anything below you, you pay only for dox charges. Also no you dont need to have import licenses as long as you use FedEx/DHL and it is a personal shipment.

Thank you for your guidance, i ordered as a gift to help a friend start business and sending in their name so they were asking me how much duty they would pay. The Invoice is US $17000 and its in their personal name.

So about 850$ in Duty, and another 30$ in DOX, however due to VAT there may be an additional charge he can incur (5% of Freight+DOX)

Thanks for your response, i appreciate your help.

You mentioned you ordered both single and multiple miners in single shipment, what was the maximum # of miners you got ship together and their worth in US$?
