Am thinking about importing a watch, and figure it's cheaper to buy in the
US even if duties are incurred.

One thing, I'm confused by the last point in paragraph 2.4

It says duty is not charged if it's a gift of an occasional nature - ie
birthday or anniversary. So, if the watch is marked as a birthday present
does it become exempt? I'm inclined to suspect that it doesn't, but if any
expert importers in here know for sure, I'd welcome any clarification.

TIA

Andy
