What decides the code
A wrist watch with a quartz analog movement is classified under heading 9102, specifically in subheading 9102.11.45 for electrically operated watches with mechanical display only.
- The movement is electrically operated, which places the watch in subheading 9102.11 rather than the mechanical movement lines.
- The display is mechanical, meaning hands and a dial, not a digital readout, which keeps it in the 9102.11 group.
- The movement has no jewels or only one jewel, which leads to the jewel-count line within 9102.11.
Common mistakes
- Heading 9101 covers watches with cases of precious metal or metal clad with precious metal, so a base metal case watch does not belong there.
- Subheading 9102.12 covers opto-electronic display only, so a watch with hands and a dial is not classified there.
- A digital readout watch falls under a different display line, so an analog quartz watch should not be placed in the opto-electronic group.
