About HS Code 910811
This HS code specifically covers complete and assembled watch movements that are electrically operated and feature a mechanical display, meaning they show time using traditional hands, or have a device to which such a display can be incorporated. These are the 'engines' of many quartz analog watches, providing precise timekeeping through electronic oscillation. Importers are primarily watch manufacturers, assemblers, and repair shops globally, who integrate these movements into their watch cases. Exporters are specialized movement manufacturers, often from countries with a strong horological heritage. Key aspects in trade include accuracy (e.g., quartz precision), battery life, dimensions for various watch case sizes, and the number of 'jewels' or components, which can indicate quality.
Products Under This Code
Quartz watch movements (analog), stepper motor watch movements, hybrid watch movements, Ronda quartz movements, Miyota quartz movements, ETA quartz movements
Real World Examples
Ronda 763 Quartz Movement, Miyota 2035 Quartz Movement, ETA F06.111 Quartz Movement, Seiko PC21J Quartz Movement, Citizen 6S21 Quartz Chronograph Movement
Common Misclassification
Can be confused with 910819 if the display is not mechanical, or 910820 if it's an automatic mechanical movement; the 'electrically operated' and 'mechanical display' are crucial differentiators.
Products Classified Under 9108.11
Industry
This code belongs to the Instruments & Apparatus industry.
Trade Overview
Switzerland and Japan are dominant exporters of these precision watch movements, with watch assembly hubs globally, particularly in China and Hong Kong, being major importers.
