1. Before you order
- Check your country's import rules for watches. Some countries require registration, a licence or specific labelling.
- Ask your customs broker which tariff code applies and what duties and taxes will be due.
- Decide whether you want new releases from the monthly catalog or established best-sellers.
- Confirm who provides the warranty (see step 4).
2. Compare quotes on the same terms
- FOB Hong Kong: the price covers the goods and delivery to the Hong Kong port or airport. You pay freight, insurance, import duties and taxes.
- CIF: the price also covers freight and insurance to your port. Duties and taxes are still yours.
- DDP: the seller handles everything to your door. It is convenient and rarely the cheapest.
- Always compare quotes on the same terms and ask what is not included.
3. Documents you usually need
- Commercial invoice and packing list.
- Air waybill (air freight) or bill of lading (sea freight).
- Certificate of origin, if your customs requires it.
- Import licence or registration, if your country requires it. Your customs broker knows which apply.
4. Check the goods when they arrive
- Count the boxes and compare model codes and quantities with the invoice before signing the delivery note.
- Parallel-import watches may not be covered by Casio's local warranty in your country. Tell your customers clearly who provides after-sales service.
- Photograph any damage straight away and report it to the carrier and to your supplier.
5. Start small and grow steadily
- Make a first trial order with a few models.
- Agree payment terms in writing before you pay.
- Keep records of every shipment: invoice, documents and photos.
