Custom/duty fees Japan ---> United States.
Has anyone here purchase a wartch from Japan, had it ship via DHL to the states and what was your experience as far as importation fees are concerned ??
The back story; I finally killed a automatic "beater" wartch yesterday. Sometime between say rounds #20-50 of .44 Remington Magnum, I noticed the watch wasn't running and could see Miyota movement shit floating around via a display caseback (now I know the reason why some give you a movement view).
Honestly I thought it would happen while golfing, but I digress.
OK, so where was I ??
I am thinking about purchasing a JDM replacement from Seiyajapan.
Apparently EMS has suspended all service from there to the US due to China-19, they now only ship to here via DHL.
So what I gathered from Seiya's site, EMS never collected custom/duty fees but sometimes DHL does with product shipped to the US.

Just wondering. Not willing to pay the inflated JDM price, an additional 10% customs/duty fee AND the Washington State 10% sales tax.............don't need a JDM model that much but prefer the one I'm looking at over the export model.
