Hi All,

Does anyone know how duties and tariffs works when you buy a watch in store at the new Frisco Store?

Tariffs are paid by the importer then passed on to the consumer in the form of a higher price. The consumer buying at a retail store would not see a separate line item on a bill specifically for any import tariff.

Yup; all simple, straight forward and fully explained on CW's website;-

The salient answer to your question being;-

Why you’ll love the showroom

The Dallas showroom is the only place in the USA where you can see and feel the entire Christopher Ward collection in the metal. Even better, you’ll make a serious saving on the regular online price. Because we’ll pay all postage costs and duties.

• During your hour-long appointment, you can try on as many watches as you like: there’s no rush and no hard sell. Mike or Trey will guide you every step of the way.

• Once you’ve made your choice, your watch will be sent to your home by priority mail from our HQ in Maidenhead, England. By making the transaction in the showroom, we will pay all shipping and import duties – giving you a substantial saving on the regular price.**

• We’ll ship from our UK base, so your watch undergoes our rigorous in-house testing, regulation procedures and final checks.

• Don’t forget, we’ll have showroom-only exclusives for you to discover, plus you’ll also get the first in-the-metal look at our newest models.

** - You're saving Shipping, which is inclusive anyway, and 'import duties' which is the Federal Duty but NOT any Tariff or State Sales Tax.

You'll also have to factor in your travel costs to Dallas, TX versus any saving you may make on not paying Federal Duty (apologies if this is stating the obvious).

Haha! I didn’t realize he was asking about the Dallas showroom. I thought it was a general question about buying a watch at a store in San Francisco, hence my more generic response. Oops.

^^^Yep. Easily confused in the OP. The actual physical address for the new showroom is Frisco, TX. A Dallas suburb.
