See every featureImporting watches into the US is uniquely complicated: customs doesn't charge one duty on the product — it charges separate rates on the movement, case, band, and battery, each with its own tariff line. Get it wrong and you overpay or face delays at the border.
Since de minimis ended, parcels into the US can be hit with duty. A valid USMCA or CUSMA certificate of origin lets your North American-made goods cross tariff-free, but the forms are easy to get wrong. This app reads your order and product data and builds a complete certificate with all nine required data elements and the official certification statement.

- Estimate US import duties using live official tariff rates
- Apply origin-based tariff surcharges to duty estimates
- Fill Shopify customs fields and generate a customs worksheet

- Includes all nine required data elements and the official certification text
- Every certificate stored and downloadable for your five-year record-keeping
