US Duty

As of August 2025, the U.S. has imposed a 15% reciprocal tariff on all goods imported from Japan, in addition to existing duties. As a result, we’ve made some changes to how we work with our American buyers.

The official total cost is approximately 20%, but we are ready to explore ways to ease your burden together before the final shipment.

Below is a breakdown of how that amount is calculated.

In this example, the watch is valued at 1500 USD (Movement = 1300 USD, Case 180 USD, Strap = 20 USD), the total processing and handling costs amount to $302.78, which represents approximately 20.19% of the base value.
