I have done logistics before. I can tell you BTC equipment is not something you but on a big cargo ship and wait for it to cross ocean if that is what your suggesting. You will be working with air most likely (unless you can get to destination by land). All depends where your shipping to and from. Look in hardware and groupbuy to get miners. It is more likely to to get gear there then places you listed.

Why do you want to ship it by sea? It's not because of the recent spate of air accidents is it? The chances of your miner going missing due to some aircraft malfunction is much, much lower than the chances of it being lost at sea. I've seen what happens to shipping containers when the seas are rough and it ain't pretty.

did you know that antminer will cost 280 $ and the cost of shipping 10 Kg will cost me 420$ and what you think if the shipping cost more than one antminer

If one option earns you more money than the other, then go with that one. Also, perhaps you need to reevaluate your decision on buying the Antminer device. It may not be financially feasible for you to invest in, given the cost or time of shipping to your current location.

Just make sure you have your parcel covered and even if it gets lost you will get your refund, i don't see an problem here at all?

A lot of sea/ocean you send in a container... it takes quite a long time depending on destination. If it's a small sea... maybe not. Across ocean... long time. Again all depends where from and where to. Also shipping company chosen. Most will take care of all this (UPS, FedEx, etc.) and you are not involved in logistics.

Well it would be nice if OP could post details about countries.

Which hardware? On Amazon, the prices for miners are often very expensive! Watch out!

It's good that you are taking care of overall cost of this Antminer. Are you sure that it will mine for you back what you invest in? I would recommend to check here: http://www.coinwarz.com/calculators/bitcoin-mining-calculator/When you put 440GH/s you will see that you can do monthly 0.16334427BTC in current difficulty. You need to add what you pay for Antminer + PSU + for electricity. Are you aware that you can buy Antminer S5 - newest Bitmain miner directly from Bitmain now?

Shipping something which weighs quite a bit is not viable when shipping via boat.

I want something + i don't pay electricity pay for it
+ uninterrupted free will chain (meaning that you didn't use coercive force to get the money for your buy, and that all intermediaries did what they did freely) = Legit Trade.

It will take months, enough maybe to make them less valuable.
And it might be so expensive that it might hurt the value of the miners.
I guess it might be cheaper travel to China and buy and ship them by air.
