HS-6 · Subheading
910610
Time recording apparatus; time-registers, time recorders, with clock, watch movement or synchronous motor
Heading 9106 — Time of day recording apparatus and apparatus for measuring, recording or otherwise indicating intervals of time, with clock, watch movement or synchronous motor
Chapter 91: Clocks and watches
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 910610 when importing or exporting time recording apparatus like time clocks or time registers that contain a clock or watch movement. For example, a digital time clock used in workplaces to track employee hours falls under this code.
This code specifically covers devices that record time intervals and are equipped with clock movements. In contrast, HS-6 910611 includes only mechanical time-recording devices, which do not have electronic components.
If you're dealing with time recording apparatus that uses a synchronous motor but lacks a clock movement, you should look at HS-6 910612 instead. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for accurate classification.
When classifying your products, consider whether they are designed for commercial use, like attendance systems, or personal use, such as hobbyist clock timers.
