Harmonized System Code Classification

91
Classification: Clocks and watches and parts thereof
Description: This heading includes various types of clocks and watches, including mechanical, electronic, quartz, and atomic clocks. It also includes timepieces such as wristwatches, pocket watches, wall clocks, floor clocks, and alarms. Additionally, it covers parts of clocks and watches, such as movements, dials, cases, straps, hands, and batteries. Other timing instruments like stopwatches and timers are also included in this category.
Reason for Classification: This heading is established to uniformly classify all goods related to time measurement and display. Since clocks and watches have specific functions and uses, they are classified separately for customs statistics, taxation, and management purposes. In summary, any product whose primary function is to display or measure time and falls within the category of clocks and watches should be classified under HS code 91.
