Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 910229 when importing or exporting wrist-watches that do not have automatic winding and may include a stop-watch feature. For example, a quartz wrist-watch with a stopwatch function falls under this code.

This code specifically covers wrist-watches that operate on battery or manual winding, distinguishing them from those classified under HS-6 910201, which includes automatic winding wrist-watches. Understanding this difference is crucial for accurate classification.

If you’re dealing with wrist-watches that incorporate additional features like alarms or backlighting but lack automatic winding, HS-6 910229 is likely the correct choice. In contrast, HS-6 910210 pertains to watches with automatic winding mechanisms.

When preparing your shipment, ensure you accurately describe the watch's features and winding mechanism to avoid customs issues. This code applies to both finished wrist-watches and those that may require assembly.
