Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 910129 when importing or exporting wrist-watches that are not electrically operated and feature cases made of precious metal or metal clad with precious metal. For example, a shipment of non-automatic wrist-watches with gold cases falls under this code.
This HS-6 line specifically covers wrist-watches that do not have electrical components and are not automatic winding. In contrast, HS-6 910121 applies to similar wrist-watches that are automatic winding, which may affect their classification and duty rates.
When classifying watches, consider whether they include a stop-watch feature. While HS-6 910129 encompasses watches with or without this feature, HS-6 910130 specifically addresses electrically operated wrist-watches, which have different requirements.
For compliance, ensure that your product descriptions clearly state the materials and functionalities. This clarity helps customs brokers and authorities accurately classify your goods.
