Chapter 91: Clocks and watches
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 910299 when importing or exporting non-electric pocket watches and stop-watches. This includes items like classic mechanical pocket watches that are wound by hand and traditional stop-watches used in sports or timing events.
This code specifically covers pocket watches and other types of watches that are not classified as wrist-watches. For instance, if you're dealing with a vintage pocket watch from the 19th century, you would use 910299 instead of 910201, which is for electrically operated watches.
If you have a mechanical stop-watch that operates without batteries, it also falls under this HS-6 line. In contrast, electrically operated stop-watches would be classified under a different heading, specifically 9101.
When shipping items classified under 910299, ensure that your documentation accurately describes the product. This helps customs officials verify that your goods align with the correct classification.
