Chapter 91: Clocks and watches
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 910511 when importing or exporting alarm clocks that are electrically operated, excluding those with watch movements. For example, if you're shipping a bulk order of battery-operated alarm clocks to a retailer, this is the correct code.
This code specifically covers alarm clocks that operate on electricity, distinguishing them from other types of clocks like wall clocks or wristwatches. If you're dealing with a mechanical alarm clock, you would need a different classification.
In contrast, HS-6 910512 applies to alarm clocks with watch movements, which are typically smaller and designed for personal use. If your product features a traditional watch mechanism, you should consider that code instead.
When classifying your goods, be aware that this HS-6 line does not include instrument panel clocks used in vehicles, which are classified separately under HS-6 910591.
