creation watches-import duty question
Discussion
anyone offer a bit of advice please, bit after the horse has bolted but bought a Seiko japan only model from creation watches after hearing good reports on here regarding ahem their creative descriptions to hopefully slip in under the radar duty/vat wise, not so on mine and now got a bill from customs which has took the shine off somewhat- is it a case of suck it up or is there any way to claim it back. sorry for ignorance but never imported one before. tia
With Creation it depends where they source the watch from I think.
I bought a Japan only Ltd edition G shock Mudman and got clobbered by customs as it came direct from their supplier in japan.
A couple of weeks later I bought a Protrek from them, that came direct from themselves in Singapore and cleared customs without any charges.
I have bought 3 other watches from them which have come through customs without a hitch.
Its a roll of the dice.
