Chapter 91: Clocks and watches

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 910519 when importing or exporting non-electric alarm clocks that do not contain watch movements. For example, a shipment of mechanical alarm clocks made of plastic and metal, intended for retail sale, falls under this code.

This code specifically covers alarm clocks that operate without electricity, distinguishing them from electrically operated models classified elsewhere. If you have a battery-operated alarm clock, you would need to look at a different HS code.

In contrast to HS-6 910510, which covers alarm clocks that are electrically operated, HS-6 910519 is for those traditional, mechanical types that rely on winding or other non-electric mechanisms. This distinction is crucial for accurate classification.

When considering imports or exports, be aware that this code also excludes clocks with watch movements and instrument panel clocks, which have their own specific classifications. Ensure your product aligns with the definitions provided.
