What decides the code
A battery quartz wall clock is an electrically operated wall clock of heading 9105, classified under 9105.21.80.
- The article is a clock for wall mounting, which places it in heading 9105 as a wall clock.
- The movement is quartz and runs on a battery, so the clock is electrically operated and falls under 9105.21.
- The clock is not a specialty timepiece such as a marine chronometer or an instrument panel clock, so it stays in the wall clock subheading.
Common mistakes
- Classifying under 9105.29 is wrong because that subheading covers other electrically operated clocks, not wall clocks.
- Classifying under 9105.11 is wrong because that subheading covers electrically operated alarm clocks, not wall clocks.
- Classifying under 9103 is wrong because heading 9103 covers clocks with watch movements, not quartz wall clocks.
