⚠ Current Section 122 rate expires Jul 24, 2026 — rates may change.
VAT deducted for non-EU orders
EU framework deal paused. Relevant for Stowa, Nomos, Sinn, etc. [Note as of June 17, 2026: USTR has proposed new Section 301 forced-labor tariffs (~10–12.5%) that, if enacted, would stack on top of current rates. Still in public-comment phase.]
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.
