Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 910591 when importing or exporting electrically operated clocks that are not alarm or wall clocks. For example, this code covers electric mantel clocks or decorative clocks that run on electricity.
This code is distinct from HS-6 910592, which includes alarm clocks. If your product has an alarm function, you should classify it under that code instead. Similarly, HS-6 910593 pertains to wall clocks, which are also excluded from this classification.
The HS-6 910591 line specifically addresses electric clocks that do not fit the typical categories of alarm or wall clocks. This includes unique designs and styles intended for home decor or office use, where the primary function is to display time without additional features.
When considering this code, think about the clock's design and function. If it operates electrically and is not intended for wall mounting or as an alarm, it likely falls under this classification.
