United States, pre-paid tariffs
For all US orders, tariffs, taxes, and duties are pre-paid by the shipper. No additional fees on delivery. The total you see at checkout is the total you pay.
European Union, VAT
For orders shipped to an EU member state, Swiss VAT does not apply. Local import VAT and any country-specific duties are handled by UPS on delivery to addresses outside the EU. Within the EU, VAT is collected at the destination.
Tracking your shipment
A UPS tracking number is emailed to you as soon as the watch leaves our workshop. You can follow your package on ups.com or your local UPS site.
