on $577.8–$846.56 watch

UK is in the 10% flat Section 301 forced-labor tier (effective July 24, 2026) — the surcharge stacks on top of the MFN duty rather than being netted against it. Relevant for Farer, Christopher Ward, anOrdain, and other UK-assembled brands.

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.
