Bracelet:

  • 3.2% of the bracelet’s value if precious metal.
  • 9.9% of the bracelet’s value if stainless steel.
    Strap: 10% of the strap’s value.
  • Most watches without a metal bracelet will be taxed at $50, as the standard strap value is estimated at $500.
    Case:
  • No duty if precious metal.
  • 4.3% of the case’s value if stainless steel.
