What decides the code
A watch band is classified in heading 9113 as a watch strap, band or bracelet, with the specific line set by the material of the band.
- The material of the band decides the line. Silicone or textile bands take 9113.90.80.00 as other watch bands.
- A band of base metal, such as stainless steel, falls under 9113.20.40.00 when it is a strap, band or bracelet valued over $5 per dozen.
- The article must be a band or bracelet for a watch, or a part of one, to fall in heading 9113 at all.
Common mistakes
- Classifying a silicone or textile band under 9113.20.40.00 is wrong because that line covers only base metal bands.
- Classifying a stainless steel band under 9113.90.80.00 is wrong because the other line covers non-metal bands, not base metal.
- Putting a watch band in a jewelry heading for imitation jewelry is wrong because heading 9113 specifically covers watch straps, bands and bracelets.
