Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 9105 when importing clocks that do not fall under watch movements or instrument panel clocks. For instance, if you're shipping battery-operated alarm clocks, this is the right classification.

When determining the correct HS-6 code, consider the type of clock. For example, 910511 is for electrically operated alarm clocks, while 910519 covers non-electrically operated alarm clocks. This distinction is crucial for accurate tariff classification.

If you're dealing with wall clocks, you'll need to choose between 910521 for electrically operated wall clocks and 910529 for those that are not. Understanding whether the clock is wall-mounted and its power source will guide your classification.

For other types of clocks, such as desk or table clocks that are not alarm or wall clocks, look at 910591 for electrically operated options and 910599 for non-electrically operated types. This ensures compliance with customs regulations.
