HS-4 · Heading
9113 — Watch straps, watch bands, watch bracelets and parts thereof
Chapter 91: Clocks and watches
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 9113 when importing or exporting watch straps, bands, or bracelets. For example, if you're shipping a batch of stainless steel watch bands, you will need to determine if they fall under precious metal or base metal classifications.
The classification between 911310 and 911320 hinges on the material. If your watch straps are made of precious metals like gold or silver, use 911310. However, if they are made from base metals, even if they are gold- or silver-plated, you should classify them under 911320.
For items that do not fit neatly into the first two categories, such as rubber or synthetic watch straps, you would use 911390. This code is for watch straps and bands that are not specified elsewhere in heading 9113.
