Heading 9108Watch movements; complete and assembled

Chapter 91: Clocks and watches

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 910820 when importing or exporting complete watch movements that feature automatic winding. For example, if you're shipping a batch of luxury wristwatches with self-winding mechanisms, this is the correct code.

This code specifically covers watch movements that are fully assembled and include automatic winding features, distinguishing them from manual movements or incomplete parts. If you're dealing with movements that require manual winding, you would look at a different classification.

In contrast to HS-6 910821, which covers movements without automatic winding, HS-6 910820 focuses on those that wind automatically as the wearer moves. This is a key distinction for accurate classification and duty assessment.

When classifying watch movements, consider whether the product is complete and assembled. For example, a shipment of automatic watch movements ready for installation in watches falls under this code, while loose parts or movements that are not fully assembled would not.
