Buying a pre-owned luxury watch in Italy

Common questions

- Import VAT of 22 percent on the value of the watch, collected when the parcel arrives. Customs duty is normally zero for watches of Swiss origin when the paperwork is in order, and we provide it.

- Two to four working days depending on the region, and a little longer to the islands. The watch is fully insured for the whole journey and released only against a signature.
