Due to the fact that the mining rigs were determined by the United States to be of Chinese origin, CleanSpark faces up to a $185 million punitive tariff.
BlockBeats News, August 8th: U.S. crypto mining firm CleanSpark disclosed that some of the Bitcoin miners it imported from April to June 2024 have been identified by U.S. Customs as of Chinese origin, potentially facing up to a $185 million punitive tariff. CleanSpark denies the allegations, stating that its purchase contracts and supplier documents indicate that the miners are not manufactured in China and will strongly defend against the accusations.
Reports indicate that earlier, mining firm IREN also faced similar disputes involving an amount of $100 million. (The Miner Mag)
