HS Code 9110.11 – Watches; complete movements, unassembled or partly assembled (movement sets)
HS code 9110.11 is the 6-digit subheading for watches, complete movements, unassembled or partly assembled (movement sets). It is used for quartz movement kits, mechanical movement sets, automatic watch movement components, chronograph movement parts and tourbillon movement kits.
What HS 9110.11 covers
This HS code encompasses complete watch movements that are either unassembled or partly assembled, often referred to as 'movement sets.' These are the intricate 'engines' of watches, traded as components rather than finished timepieces. The primary players in this trade are specialized movement manufacturers and watch brands that perform in-house assembly. Importers are typically watchmakers, ranging from luxury brands sourcing high-precision Swiss movements to mass-market producers acquiring reliable Japanese or Chinese components. Exporters are concentrated in traditional watchmaking hubs and advanced manufacturing regions. Key considerations include the movement's origin (e.g., Swiss Made, Japanese), its type (mechanical, quartz, automatic), and the level of assembly, which significantly impacts the final watch's quality, cost, and 'country of origin' designation. This segment is vital for the global watch supply chain, enabling diverse brands to create watches with varying levels of sophistication and price points.

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).
