    Tariff situation in flux

    Current Rate

    16%

    6% HTS + 10% Section 122

    Est. Duty

    $59–$142

    on $368–$889 watch

    ⚠ 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. [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.
