Although it’s been around 10 years since I have, over the years I have bought half a dozen or so watches from Europe, Singapore, and Japan.
I was not charged customs duties on ANY of them. All of them had the proper paperwork/documentation on the outside of the package as required, all were stamped/stickered by customs as having arrived in the US, again no duties levied or billed. Things may have changed since then but my guess is many packages arrive here with minimal oversight. Anyone flying in from overseas will tell you the same thing. Sometimes the third degree, other times a quick and cursory check from customs and immigration.
To the OP, I’m sure you can look up on the Customs website what the duties might be, whether or not they are levied may vary.
