receiving a non restricted item from Ukraine through customs time frame

[michaecoxi0]

I have a quick question. i'm expecting a wrist watch coming from the Ukraine to the U S. how long should it take to get through Customs from the Ukraine into the US? i'm not trying to rush time or anything, this is just a new experience for me and read the horror stories.... so can anyone separate the horror stories from the facts ty most humbly.

It will be a miracle if this turns out positive.  Why would you buy a watch from the Ukraine?  You basically bought it on a street corner from a guy in a trench coat.

If your watch is not restricted, then it should clear UK Customs in a matter of minutes or a few hours.  Once your item arrives in the USA, under normal conditions, about a week. from my experience when receiving items from China.  However, with the Covid-19 crisis, it could take longer.

My suggestion is not to become alarmed and rush to open a case in the resolution center.  Eventually, your watch will arrive at your destination.

Perhaps you should have stated when you made a purchase. These days the delivery time is at least 3-4 weeks (from Europe), I guess longer from other countries. Your parcel should clear the US customs fast. The US threshold to pay customs duties is $800 (or $1000 I ma not sure). So if the declared value is below that, there should be no delay. Did the seller provide a tracking number? What does the tracking show?

I've never ordered from the Ukraine but packages from Russia to Canada pre pandemic usually took about a month.
