USA import duties for voutilainen?
Anyone have experience about how much duties would cost for ordering direct from Kari? Been searching and seems variable what people are paying, depending on case, movement etc.

Correct. There is a seemingly convoluted but not that complicated formula based on number of jewels, case, strap/bracelet etc. I once did a quick back of the envelope calc on a a royal oak and came up to about 6% (not including personal deduction) Either way, well worth getting a vat refund from Europe.

I should add… the application/payment of state tax seems to be largely inconsistent. Which obviously adds a big chunk.

Here you go:
HTS Code 9102.21.70 * Movement – Flat fee of $1.53 * Case – 4.2% * Bracelet/Band – 9.8% for textile/metal, 2% for others (9102.21.90) |

From my experience, DHL certainly triggered a notice letter. But EMS and Fexdex seem to be random. BTW, there are many talks of detax information gets send to US Custom and there are people who gets stopped at US Custom with purchases in Europe being brought back. Many people claimed that the Custom officer has a list of items being detax via Global Blue. |

If you import it, US Customs should notify your State so the sales tax would be due also. The customs fees are very reasonable.

Thanks seems like it may be easier/cheaper to order via a dealer. California does seem to be clawing back every last cent I got a notice in the mail for a delugs order I didn't even think about for like 10$
