Buying Watch From Taiwan

I am interested in buying a watch that is going to cost $350.00. Seller says shipping is free . The item is in Taiwan and I live in the usa. Will I have to pay any fees customs or taxes on arrival? Item number is 370353585543 Thanks|||That's something you have to look up on the Governement site or USPS may have that kind of info. I hope you are using a credit card to fund the payment just incase the item goes missing or you get a piece of china junk.|||OP chances are, thats a very expensive fake|||icy - you do not live in the US, you do not know the rules. You should not be marking your items at less than their true value. It is against the law.|||agreed with gildedlily - a fake. There is duty on items valued at over $200.|||Be aware, IF the watch turns out to be SNAD (significantly not as described) or arrives damaged, you would be required to pay for the return shipping to the seller with some form of "on line viewable tracking" which is expensive. in order to get your refund (item price and original S&H) from Ebay/Paypal. The return shipping to the Int'l seller is not refundable from Ebay/Paypal. In addition, you would have to insure the package for the return to the seller.|||"if the seller send the items separately as small package , the customs not check the small package , and if the package mark low values , it is not lead to the customs fee ." 100 % false, illegal as there is no guarantee, US Customs will not open a package to inspect for contents/counterfeit or illegal item importation.|||It's 99.9% positive that it is a fake and yes, you owe duty on something that expensive. DO NOT buy from Asian and think what you are getting is genuine. Doesn't matter if it is an iPod or a Tag watch, they are all fake.|||Hi Friend I think it must be something misunderstanding . There was an experience . I sold items to spain last month .Items cost USD 510.00 , the buyer tell me to send the items as 20 packages , so the real value for each package should be usd 25.50 /package , It is the buyer that ask for small package , not me . I said why . He replies that :" kindly please send the items as small packages , it will make me low customs fee . " I don't know if it is ok , but I think the buyer know better about the rules at their local . The only I can do was sending the items as per buyer instruction , But I added an invoice on each package .
