HS-4 · Heading
9107 — Time switches; with clock, watch movement or synchronous motor
Chapter 91: Clocks and watches
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 9107 when importing time switches that contain a clock, watch movement, or a synchronous motor. For example, if you import a programmable timer that controls lighting based on time, this code applies.
When deciding between HS-6 910700 and other headings, consider whether your product includes a clock or watch movement. If it’s purely electronic without any mechanical timing device, it may fall under a different heading.
If your time switch is designed for specific applications, such as controlling irrigation systems or home automation, ensure it meets the criteria for this heading. Products that do not have a clock movement but are still timing devices may need a different classification.
