Here’s how the taxes, charges and tariffs currently work on your purchase from us here in the UK into the USA.
US shipping rules have now changed and we just want to ensure that you are up to date and happy to proceed with the new tariffs before we ship.
When your watch/strap crosses the border into the US, our shipping agent (typically UPS) is tasked with collecting your local US state and City sales taxes, import duty, determined by the US administration and a fee payable to the shipping company for their admin involved in collection and payment of the taxes on your behalf.
Watches with Japanese movements (Auto Holton for example) are classed as Japanese in origin, currently 15% tariff. Watches with Swiss movements (Quartz & Auto) are classed as Swiss in origin with 15% tariff. Our watch straps are predominantly Chinese in origin (15-20% tariff expected) whilst our Heritage Webbing and Zulu Alpha webbing collab straps are UK made (15% tariff). With the current volatile nature of tariffs, we will endeavour to keep all our information updated, but please do some research yourself if concerned.
Please also factor in your local State and City sales taxes plus the courier admin fee for collecting and paying the taxes and duties on your behalf - typically $14 to $19.
Please confirm if you would like to go ahead with your purchase by selecting Yes or No below.
This indicates that you are aware of the new import taxes, and let's us know that you are happy for your order to be sent or if you require a refund.
We will hold your order here until we hear back from you.
