About HS Code 910910
This HS code covers complete and assembled clock movements that are electrically operated, typically referring to quartz-controlled mechanisms. These movements are the ubiquitous 'heart' of most modern wall clocks, desk clocks, and alarm clocks, providing highly accurate and reliable timekeeping without the need for manual winding. Importers include clock manufacturers, furniture makers (for integrated clocks), craft suppliers, and distributors of home decor items. Exporters are often mass-producers of electronic components and clock mechanisms, leveraging economies of scale. Key aspects in international trade include accuracy (e.g., +/- 1 second per year), battery life, dimensions for various clock sizes, and features like silent sweep, pendulum drive, or chime capabilities.
Products Under This Code
Quartz clock movements, battery-operated clock movements, pendulum clock movements (quartz), chime clock movements (quartz), silent sweep clock movements, high torque clock movements
Real World Examples
Seiko Quartz Clock Movements, Rhythm Quartz Clock Movements, Hermle Quartz Clock Movements, Youngtown Quartz Clock Movements, UTS Quartz Clock Movements
Common Misclassification
Can be confused with 910990 if the movement is not electrically operated; the 'electrically operated' aspect is the primary differentiator from other clock movements.
Products Classified Under 9109.10
Industry
This code belongs to the Instruments & Apparatus industry.
Trade Overview
China is the dominant exporter of electrically operated clock movements due to its manufacturing scale, with global clock manufacturers and retailers being major importers.
