Declare
Hi
I am heading back to NY and i have about 7 watches with me. Is this something i should declare? Has anyone got into issues with bringing their watches back? To the US. Sent from my VOG-L29 using Tapatalk |

Did you purchased all of them overseas? Supposely you need to declare goods in excess of a certain amount, not sure how that is managed on a move.

If you don’t have receipts showing their purchase within the country and didn’t declare them exiting you could be forced to pay tax on fair market value.

Are you moving into the US? Did you go out of the US and bought them out of the US and now you are just returning like from a business trip or vacation?
If you are a US resident, left the country and bought them in another country and now returning with these new purchased watches, yes you are required to declare plain and simple. Having said that do folks always follow the rules or do they not and get away with it, sure every day. Your call. My two cents if it were one purchase, probably good. 7 good luck. How is your luck, do you do well in Vegas? |

That would be a great way to get FedEX and CBP to flag the shipment

I have global entry which speeds me up quite a bit. I wouldn’t risk the long term effects of that for tax on a watch or seven...

There’s an USD800 duty free exemption for personal items. But i doubt if even one of your watches would be below that threshold.

Both household goods, and personal effects (watches, jewelry) are expected to be itemized and available to CBP if requested. If you have had, and used, your personal effects for more than a year, and none are being brought in for sale, there usually isn't an issue. Still, you are "importing", and there is plenty of direction and regulation to follow.
