HS Code Lookup for Heading 9109

91.09 ‑ Clock movements, complete and assembled.

9109.10 ‑ Electrically operated

9109.90 ‑ Other

This heading covers all assembled movements of the clock type, that is to say, complete and ready for use; those having an analogue time display device (hands) may be with or without dial or hands.

The movements of this heading are mainly intended for the goods of headings 91.04 to 91.07, but they remain classified here even if meant for incorporation in instruments or apparatus of other Chapters (measuring or precision instruments, meters, explosive devices, etc.).

The heading excludes :

(a) Spring‑operated or weight‑operated motors, etc., not fitted, nor adapted to be fitted, with escapements, of heading 84.12 (e.g., those for operating musical boxes).

(b) Watch movements as defined in Chapter Note 3 (see the Explanatory Note to heading 91.08).

The heading therefore covers, inter alia, movements regulated by a balance‑wheel and hairspring or by any other regulating system capable of determining intervals of time, and exceeding 12 mm in thickness or 50 mm in width, length or diameter; pendulum movements; electrical clock movements, with or without regulators (secondary clock movements, synchronous clock movements, etc.).

To be classified here, synchronous and secondary clock movements must incorporate, in addition to the synchronous motor or the electro‑magnet, a clock train, i.e., a train containing parts such as the first, second, third and fourth wheel, the minute wheel and hour wheel. Separately presented electro‑magnets and synchronous motors are classified in their own appropriate headings, whether or not they are equipped with reduction gears regulating the speed of the shaft.

These clock movements may be unpolished, polished, nickel‑plated, rhodium‑plated, silvered, gilded, varnished, etc.
