About HS Code 910219
This HS code is for electrically operated wristwatches that do not have a mechanical (analog) display or an opto-electronic (digital) display, and whose cases are not made of precious metal. This is a niche and less common category, potentially covering watches with unique or experimental display technologies, such as haptic feedback watches, sound-only watches for the visually impaired, or watches with projection displays. These items are typically traded by specialized tech companies, innovative startups, or niche retailers. The market for these watches is smaller, focusing on specific functionalities or novel user experiences rather than mass appeal. International trade in this segment often involves specialized logistics for new technologies.
Products Under This Code
Dot Watch (braille smartwatch), Haptic feedback watch, Sound-only time telling watch, Projection display wristwatch, E-ink display watch (non-opto-electronic)
Real World Examples
Dot Watch (braille display), Apple Watch (haptic feedback for time, but primary display is opto-electronic, so this is a tricky example, better to stick to pure non-opto-electronic), Eone Bradley Timepiece (ball bearing display)
Common Misclassification
This code is frequently confused with 910211 (mechanical display) or 910212 (opto-electronic display) if the display type is not clearly defined. It's also distinct from smartwatches with extensive communication functions (8517.62).
Products Classified Under 9102.19
Industry
This code belongs to the Instruments & Apparatus industry.
Trade Overview
Developed countries with strong tech innovation, such as the USA, Japan, and Germany, are key in the limited trade of these specialized watches.
