    🇨🇭

    Ships from Neuchâtel, Switzerland

    Import duty applies

    Current Rate

    12.5%

    6% HTS + 6.5% Section 301 (forced labor)

    Est. Duty

    $8–$48

    on $63–$380 watch

    Section 301 forced-labor tariff capped at 12.5% total including MFN duty (Trade Act of 1974, effective July 24, 2026). With the ~6% HTS base rate on mechanical watches, the incremental Section 301 duty is 6.5%. Replaces both the struck-down IEEPA reciprocal tariffs and the expired Section 122 surcharge.

    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.
