⚠ Current Section 122 rate expires Jul 24, 2026 — rates may change.

Prices shown in CHF exclusive of taxes, duties and levies. Insured shipping included. Sold direct only via ming.watch. Most models sell out rapidly and are retired after production run.

IEEPA reciprocal tariff (originally 39%, later 15%) struck down by SCOTUS on Feb 20, 2026. Currently flat 10% Section 122 tariff. HTS base rate varies 4-11% by movement type; 6% is typical for mechanical watches. Framework deal with US in limbo.

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.
