⚠ Current Section 122 rate expires Jul 24, 2026 — rates may change.
IEEPA reciprocal tariff (originally 39%, later 15%) struck down by SCOTUS on Feb 20, 2026. Currently flat 10% Section 122 tariff. HTS base rate varies 4-11% by movement type; 6% is typical for mechanical watches. Framework deal with US in limbo.
Tariffs are assessed based on where the watch is assembled, not where individual components originate. A watch with a Japanese movement assembled in the US incurs no import duty.
