How to choose the right subheading
- Decide whether the movement is for a watch or for a clock; watch movements are in 9110.11 to 9110.19 and other movements are in 9110.90.
- Check the assembly stage: complete unassembled or partly assembled movement set, incomplete assembled movement, or rough movement.
- If the movement is complete and assembled, it is outside 9110 and goes to 9108 for watches or 9109 for clocks.
- For 9110.90.40, check whether two or more pieces or parts are fastened or joined together, because the rate includes per jewel and per other piece or part.
- Confirm the item is a movement, not a case, strap, band or other part classified in another heading.
