Yes: (From an invoice on a watch from Italy for which I paid $4,936)
$.90 for the movement +
4.4% duty (Case) +
.3464% Merch. Processing Fee ($17.10) +
other ($7.90 - no detail) +
Advancement Fee of $7.00 (Whatever that is) .=
$81.17 - Short money.
It varies with watch value. Metal or leather bands. For instance the Rolex I just bought, they charged duty on movement. case and bracelet. I've not seen that invoice yet but we talked over the phone during the shipment process. Overall however they are charging peanuts for control, transparency and peace of mind. If there is a problem you get an e-mail and a call. Huge fan.
