Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 910111 when importing or exporting electrically operated wrist-watches that have a case made of precious metal or are clad with precious metal. For example, a shipment of luxury wrist-watches featuring gold cases and mechanical displays would fall under this classification.
This code specifically applies to wrist-watches that operate electrically and are designed with a mechanical display, distinguishing them from other watches that may use quartz movements or lack precious metal cases. In contrast, HS-6 910112 covers similar watches but with quartz movements.
When assessing whether your wrist-watch fits HS-6 910111, consider the materials used in the case and the type of display. If the watch has a case made of stainless steel or plastic, it would not qualify under this code and may fall under a different classification.
Wrist-watches classified under this code are often luxury items, appealing to consumers looking for high-end timepieces. Ensure you understand the specifications and materials of your products to avoid misclassification.
