Title: US Tariff Ruling N297495 = 2.6% mandatory tariff on bitcoin mining hardware

The US Customs ruling for Bitcoin miners seems half-baked. They treat mining as though it is not a type of data-processing. 

This HS code classification means that US based miners will have to pay a 2.6% tariff on any miners coming into the US from now on. Period.

Anyone know of anyone who is working to fight this? I'd love to connect.
