Chapter 91: Clocks and watches

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 910211 when importing or exporting electrically operated wrist-watches that have mechanical displays. For example, a shipment of smartwatches that display time mechanically falls under this code.

This code specifically addresses wrist-watches that are electrically operated but feature a mechanical display, distinguishing them from purely digital watches or those classified under HS-6 910212, which includes watches with electronic displays.

If you're dealing with wrist-watches that combine both electric operation and mechanical display, this is the right classification. However, ensure they do not fall under HS-6 9101, which covers non-electrically operated watches.

When considering products like hybrid smartwatches or traditional watches with electric movements, remember that the mechanical display is key for this classification.
