Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code "91" represent clocks and watches and their parts.

Specifically, this chapter includes the following:

• Various types of clocks and watches: Including mechanical clocks and watches, electronic clocks and watches, quartz clocks and watches, atomic clocks, etc.
• Timepieces: Wristwatches, pocket watches, wall clocks, mantel clocks, alarm clocks, etc.
• Parts of clocks and watches: Clock and watch movements, dials, cases, straps, hands, batteries, etc.
• Other timing instruments: Such as stopwatches and timers.

Reason for classification:

This chapter was established to uniformly classify all goods related to time measurement and display. Since clocks and watches and their parts have specific functions and purposes, they are classified separately for ease of customs statistics, taxation, and management.

In summary, any product whose main function is to display or measure time and falls within the category of clocks and watches and their parts should be classified under HS code 91.
