HS-6 910400: Clocks; instrument panel clocks and clocks of a similar type for vehicles, aircraft, spacecraft or vessels

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 910400 when importing or exporting instrument panel clocks designed for vehicles, aircraft, spacecraft, or vessels. For example, a shipment of dashboard clocks for a new line of cars falls under this code.

This code specifically targets clocks that are integrated into vehicle dashboards, unlike HS-6 910300, which covers other types of clocks not specifically designed for vehicles. If you’re dealing with decorative wall clocks or wristwatches, you’ll need to look elsewhere.

Clocks classified under HS-6 910400 are typically designed for precise timekeeping in transportation settings. They may feature additional functions like speed or fuel level indicators, which are essential for vehicle operation.

When considering this code, think about the end-use of the clocks. If they are intended for installation in a vehicle's dashboard, they fit this category. However, if they are standalone clocks, they may not qualify.
