Chapter 91: Clocks and watches
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 9110 when importing or exporting watch or clock movements, whether they are complete, unassembled, or partly assembled. For example, if you're shipping a set of watch movements that are not yet assembled, this code applies.
Deciding between HS-6 911011 and 911012 can be tricky. Use 911011 for complete movements that are unassembled or partly assembled. If you have movements that are assembled but incomplete, then 911012 is the right choice.
For rough movements, which are not finished and may require further processing, you should select HS-6 911019. This is distinct from the complete or assembled options, so ensure your product matches this description.
If you deal with clock movements, regardless of their assembly status, you would use HS-6 911090. This line covers all types of clock movements, whether complete, incomplete, assembled, or unassembled.
