Find HS Code and trade information for SPORT WATCH

Okay, let's break down the HS codes you've provided for your "SPORT WATCH" declaration. I'll provide a detailed analysis of each, including the meaning of the code segments and potential implications for your import.

Understanding HS Codes: A Quick Primer

HS (Harmonized System) codes are internationally standardized codes used to classify traded products. They are crucial for determining tariffs, regulations, and trade statistics. The first 6 digits are generally consistent worldwide, while additional digits are specific to each country (in this case, the US).

Here's a breakdown of each HS code you provided:

1. HS Code: 9101.29.70.00 – Other Wrist Watches (Precious Metal/Metal Clad Case, >17 Jewels, with Textile/Base Metal Straps)

• 9101: Watches, including stopwatches. This is the general heading for all types of watches.
• 9101.2: Wrist watches, pocket watches and other watches, including stop watches, with case of precious metal or of metal clad with precious metal. This narrows it down to watches with a precious metal or metal-clad case.
• 9101.29: Other wrist watches, whether or not incorporating a stop watch facility. This specifies "other" wrist watches within the precious metal/clad case category.
• 9101.29.70: Having over 17 jewels in the movement. This further defines the watch based on the number of jewels in the movement (a measure of quality/precision).
• 9101.29.70.00: Straps, bands or bracelets entered with watches of subheading 9101.29.90 and classifiable therewith pursuant to additional U.S. note 2 to this chapter; all the foregoing whether or not attached to such watches at the time of entry: Of textile material or of base metal, whether or not gold- or silver-plated. This specifies that the straps are of textile or base metal.
• Tax:
  • Basic Duty: 3.1%
  • Additional Duty: 7.5%
  • Post 2025.4.2 Additional Duty: 30%
  • Total Tax: 40.6%

2. HS Code: 9101.29.80.00 – Other Wrist Watches (Precious Metal/Metal Clad Case, >17 Jewels, Other Straps)

• 9101: Watches, including stopwatches.
• 9101.2: Wrist watches, pocket watches and other watches, including stop watches, with case of precious metal or of metal clad with precious metal.
• 9101.29: Other wrist watches, whether or not incorporating a stop watch facility.
• 9101.29.80: Other. This is a catch-all for wrist watches within the precious metal/clad case category that don't fit the more specific subheadings.
• Tax:
  • Basic Duty: 3.1%
  • Additional Duty: 7.5%
  • Post 2025.4.2 Additional Duty: 30%
  • Total Tax: 40.6%

3. HS Code: 9102.29.02.00 – Other Wrist Watches (Not Precious Metal, >1 Jewel, Textile/Base Metal Straps)

• 9102: Watches, including stopwatches, other than those of heading 9101. This indicates the watch case is not made of precious metal or metal clad with precious metal.
• 9102.2: Other wrist watches, whether or not incorporating a stop watch facility.
• 9102.29: Other.
• 9102.29.02: Having no jewels or only one jewel in the movement: With strap, band or bracelet of textile material or of base metal, whether or not gold- or silver-plated.

  • Basic Duty: 14.0%
  • Additional Duty: 7.5%
  • Post 2025.4.2 Additional Duty: 30%

4. HS Code: 3926.90.99.05 – Elastic Bands (Plastic)

• 3926: Other articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914. This code is for plastic articles.

  • Additional Duty: 7.5%
  • Post 2025.4.2 Additional Duty: 30%
  • Total Tax: 42.8%

Important Considerations & Recommendations:

• Jewel Count: The number of jewels in the watch movement is critical for correct classification between 9101.29.70 and other codes. Ensure accurate documentation.
• Case Material: The material of the watch case is also key. "Precious metal" has a specific definition; confirm your case material meets that definition.
• Strap Material: The material of the strap is important.
• Additional U.S. Note 2: The reference to "additional U.S. note 2" means there are specific US regulations regarding straps and bands entered with watches. You should review this note carefully to ensure compliance. (You can find this on the US Customs and Border Protection website).
• Valuation: The declared value of the watch will impact duty calculations.
• Country of Origin: Ensure accurate country of origin labeling.
• Certifications: Depending on the features of the watch (e.g., water resistance, specific materials), you may need to provide certifications to demonstrate compliance with US standards.

To help me refine this analysis further, could you tell me:

• What is the primary material of the watch case?
• What is the jewel count of the watch movement?
• What is the material of the strap?
• Are there any specific features of the watch (e.g., water resistance, smart watch functionality)?
