HS Code 9108.19 – Watch movements; complete and assembled, electrically operated, by means of solar cells, without mechanical display or device including such or opto-electronic display
HS code 9108.19 is the 6-digit subheading for watch movements, complete and assembled, electrically operated, by means of solar cells, without mechanical display or device including such or opto-electronic display. It is used for smartwatch core movements (solar-powered, no integrated display), specialized timing modules (solar), sensor-integrated watch movements (solar) and solar-powered movement for hybrid smartwatches (no display).
What HS 9108.19 covers
This 'other' HS code for watch movements covers those that are complete and assembled, electrically operated by means of solar cells, but crucially, are without a mechanical display or a device for one, and also without an opto-electronic display. This category often includes core movements for advanced smartwatches or specialized timing modules where the display functionality is handled by a separate, integrated component or an external interface. Importers are typically manufacturers of high-tech wearables, hybrid smartwatches, or specialized electronic devices that require a compact, solar-powered timing engine without an integrated visual display. Exporters are high-tech component suppliers specializing in miniaturized electronics. Key aspects include compact design, low power consumption, and seamless integration capabilities with external processors and displays.

Components for Garmin Instinct Solar (movement only), specialized modules for certain hybrid smartwatches (e.g., Fossil Hybrid HR movement core), custom solar-powered timing modules for industrial applications
Codes often confused with 9108.19
Common mistake. This code is for movements *without* a display, differentiating it from 910811 (mechanical display) and 910812 (opto-electronic display); it's crucial to ensure no display mechanism is present.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 910819, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 910819 in UN Comtrade data was Japan, with 30% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was China, with 33% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
