Tax Guide

Plan import costs before you buy

Our listing price excludes all import duties/taxes, but includes shipping fees and full transit insurance coverage for every watch shipment.

Important disclaimer

The destination rates shown are Meridian Watch's experience-based planning references from past transactions. They are not official tariff quotations, tax or legal advice, and may change without notice according to watch classification, material, origin, customs value, destination rules and local customs assessment. Buyers must verify the final amount with their local customs authority or a licensed customs broker.

United States Supplementary Notes

  1. The 12.5% US tariff rate is Meridian Watch's current experience-based reference; we will update buyers promptly if our reference changes.
  2. For platform orders, applicable local sales tax may be pre-collected by the platform.
  3. Direct private shipments may still be assessed duties or state/local taxes. Final treatment is determined by the relevant authorities.

Insurance Clarification

Insurance coverage is separate from the customs assessment. Each watch is insured for its agreed actual market value during transit, with the shipment-specific insured amount, coverage and exclusions confirmed in writing before dispatch.

Customs Compliance

Invoices and customs documents must accurately describe the transaction and shipment. Payment timing or splitting does not change the legally required customs value. Meridian Watch does not promise duty savings through undervaluation or an inaccurate personal-use declaration.

Import Cost Estimator

Calculate with an accurate customs value
