MillionMiner Brings Bitmain Antminer Machines to Buyers in 50+ Countries With Duty-Paid Delivery
Ordering a mining machine from another country often comes with a nasty surprise. The box clears the ocean, lands in your country, and then stops, waiting for someone to pay import taxes. MillionMiner now ships Bitmain Antminer machines duty-paid to buyers in more than 50 countries, so that step is handled before the machine ever reaches the door. This article explains what that means, how the process works, and what buyers should still check before they order.
What is changing for Antminer buyers?
The main change is who deals with customs. Under a normal shipping deal, the buyer pays any import costs when the package arrives. Under duty-paid delivery, the seller pays them in advance and handles the paperwork. The buyer receives the machine with nothing left to settle.
For buyers outside the seller’s home country, that removes the hardest part of ordering from abroad. There’s no need to hire a customs broker, fill out import forms or wait for a tax bill.
What does duty-paid delivery include?
Duty-paid delivery, known in trade as DDP, covers every step between the warehouse and the buyer. It has three main parts.
Export and freight
The seller prepares export documents, books international freight and arranges the courier. The machine travels insured and tracked, so the buyer can follow it at every stage. Packing matters too, since mining machines usually travel in thick foam that protects their fans and power sockets.
Customs clearance
When the machine reaches the buyer’s country, it must pass through customs. Officers check the paperwork, the product codes, and the declared value. Under DDP, the seller’s team or its shipping partner handles this, not the buyer. If officers ask questions, the seller answers them, which saves the buyer time and stress.
Duties and import taxes
Most countries charge a customs duty and an import tax, such as VAT or GST. Under DDP, the seller pays both before the machine is released. The buyer’s final cost is clear from the start.
Why is customs such a common problem for mining hardware?
Mining machines are heavy, valuable and sometimes unfamiliar to customs officers. A missing invoice or the wrong product code can hold a shipment for days. In some countries, mining hardware draws extra questions because of its high power use.
Every day a machine waits in a warehouse is a day it isn’t running. For buyers who plan around a fixed start date, a long customs hold can throw off the whole schedule. Handing customs to a team that ships these machines every week cuts that risk sharply.
How does a duty-paid order work from start to finish?
The process follows a simple path:
- Order placed. The buyer chooses a model and confirms the delivery address.
- Dispatch. In-stock units usually leave the warehouse within one to three business days.
- Freight. The machine ships by courier with insurance and tracking.
- Customs. The seller’s side clears customs and pays duties and taxes.
- Delivery. The machine arrives, usually within 5 to 14 business days depending on the destination.
At no point does the buyer need to contact customs or pay an extra fee.
Which Antminer machines does this cover?
The company’s Bitmain catalog includes several Antminer lines, each built for a different algorithm. S-series machines run on SHA-256. L-series machines run on Scrypt, used by Litecoin and Dogecoin. Z-series machines run on Equihash, and KS-series machines run on kHeavyHash, used by Kaspa.
Buyers who want to buy Bitmain Antminers for different coins can compare these lines in one place. Each ASIC miner is built for one algorithm only, so the coin choice should come before the model choice.
What happens if a machine needs a warranty repair?
Every new Antminer carries a manufacturer warranty from Bitmain. The company’s own team handles warranty claims on the buyer’s behalf, so buyers don’t have to contact the factory or arrange a repair shipment alone.
This matters most for international buyers. Without help, a warranty claim can mean shipping a heavy machine back across borders and dealing with customs a second time. Having one team manage the claim keeps that process simpler.
Can machines ship straight to a hosting site?
Yes. Buyers who don’t want to run a loud, hot machine at home can have it delivered directly to one of the company’s four hosting facilities in the United States. Those sites are in Nebraska, Missouri, and Mississippi.
There, on-site technicians rack the machine, connect it to a mining pool and watch it around the clock. This skips a second shipment and puts the machine to work faster.
What should buyers still check before ordering?
Duty-paid delivery removes the biggest customs risk, but a few checks still make sense:
- Power supply. Most Antminer machines need a dedicated 200 to 240 volt circuit.
- Space and noise. Air-cooled units are loud and produce a lot of heat.
- Local rules. Some areas limit mining or set noise rules for homes.
- Model fit. Make sure the model matches the coin you plan to mine and your power price.
These points depend on the buyer’s own site, not the shipping method, so they’re worth settling before the box arrives.
Who benefits most from duty-paid delivery?
First-time buyers gain the most. They often don’t know which forms their country requires or how import taxes are calculated. Duty-paid delivery means they don’t need to learn.
Small businesses and home miners also benefit, because they rarely have a customs broker on call. Buyers ordering several machines at once also avoid paying separate customs bills for each box. Large operators with their own import teams may need it less, but many still prefer a single, predictable delivery cost.
Moving mining hardware across borders has always been part logistics and part paperwork. Duty-paid delivery puts both in the hands of the people who handle it every day, so buyers can focus on setting up their machines instead of chasing them through customs.
