Thanks - Sean
I had to submit a Form 5106 through FedEx when box arrived at US customs identifying me as the importer without intent to resell. Form submitted in early morning and Customs released Watch by that evening and delivery occurred next day. I expect to get an invoice from FedEx in 1-2 weeks for tariffs. Based on reading various posts I expect $100-$200 for this $5K watch. Now, my imported JDM $3K-$4K High Accuracy Seiko and Citizen watches were billed $0 because I guess quartz watches are exempt from tariffs (?).

I had concerns the alligator strap my create issues due to CITES treaties, but no issue.
