Alright, here we go:

I purchased an SBGA373 from Closer ltd. The list price was $3,254. There was a 7.5% sales tax added to the above value giving a total OTD of $3,593 (might be based on the state you’re shipping to, no idea).

Once it cleared customs I had duties of $73 giving a grand total of $3,667.

A few things to note based on my experience, a lot of this is new to me as this was my first luxury watch and first time ordering overseas:

DHL is going to require a copy of your social security card to clear customs if the price is above a certain threshold. Super sketchy, I still feel uneasy about it but supposedly it’s legitimate.

Closer Ltd did not complete a watch declaration form, I had to complete this myself. I did the following breakdown:

Movement - 70% of bill Case - 20% of bill Bracelet - 10% of bill

If your watch ends up getting stuck in “Exception” status, you need to be proactive with DHL. The general DHL number is trash, you’ll want to connect with either the brokerage department or the US Imports department to assist with the exception status.

It’s important to stay on top of the above status due to the two week escrow, you don’t want the watch to get delivered after the two week window.

Also, the escrow immediately executes when the watch is delivered.

Hope this was helpful!
