on $1598.51–$4448.57 watch
Section 301 forced-labor tariff capped at 12.5% total including MFN duty (Trade Act of 1974, effective July 24, 2026). With the ~6% HTS base rate on mechanical watches, the incremental Section 301 duty is 6.5%. Replaces both the struck-down IEEPA reciprocal tariffs and the expired Section 122 surcharge.
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.
