⚠ Current Section 122 rate expires Jul 24, 2026 — rates may change.
VAT and customs fees included in product price for some regions per KUOE shipping policy. US import duty status unclear.
Previous 15% reciprocal deal now in limbo post-SCOTUS. Currently flat 10% Section 122. Japanese movements (Miyota, Seiko) are components, not finished watches — tariff applies to where the watch is assembled, not where the movement is from.
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.
