Not worked up, just feeling the hassle having to drop it off to the Hong Kong boutique; Since Hong Kong is still in the midst of resolving protests.
So updates on the Richard Mille boutique from Mandarin Oriental Taipei.
They gave me 2 options:
1. Due to this watch was not purchased at their boutique in Taiwan, this watch is not Taiwan Customs cleared. A Payment of around 35k USD on VAT and Import Tax has to be made prior to any other costs.
2. Drop it to Hong Kong boutique; where Hong Kong is Tax free.
There should be a third option on waiting for their technicians rotates to Taiwan boutique as they mentioned when I dropped it off, Taiwan boutique has the equipments to service rm-002.
But this option was never mentioned during the conversation until I asked. The reply was there’s a policy change on Tourbillon RM can only be serviced at Switzerland; Not in Singapore/ Hong Kong or Taiwan anymore.
So I will pick it up then drop it off to Hong Kong and see what’s up; Will keep updating on progress.

Good advice!

Sorry not saying you were worked up, just saying if you were(I know I would be) best way to deal with it is constructively. Surprise customs actually tracked whether a duties has been paid before on a specific item. This is the first for me. I am surprise...
