Latest USA Tariffs information

Message for USA Customers:

PLEASE BE AWARE OF TARIFF CHARGES BEFORE ORDERING THIS WEEKEND.

The U.S. administration has announced the tariff charges placed on items originating from Hong Kong (same rate as China) have now been lowered to 30% (from 145%) for a trial period of 90 days.

The De Minimis exemption for items under $800 HAS NOT been reintroduced however so tariff charges will apply to all of our watches and straps where the country of origin is partly Hong Kong.

PLEASE BE AWARE OF TARIFF CHARGES BEFORE ORDERING THIS WEEKEND.

Even though we have been providing information on tariffs and charges for many weeks including emails, social media posts and details on individual watch pages customers who ordered after the tariffs were implemented are still getting in touch with complaints regarding the charges. We are unable to provide accurate information on how much will be charged as this varies between products.

Customers are personally liable for these charges once items have entered the USA. They are payable by the customers, non refundable and outside of Time Factors and UPS control.

Many of our Watches, Bracelets & Straps are part-made in Hong Kong (with movements being Swiss or Japanese) so they are liable for the same 30% tariff placed on China.

Details of a watches Country of Origin are at the bottom of each items page on our website.

Tariffs and charges are collected by UPS prior to delivery so please make sure your contact details are correct.
