Clock or watch parts, dials.
Classification of clock dials under HS 9114.30
Clock dials are classified under HS code 9114.30. This classification is governed by the rules of Chapter 91, which encompasses clocks, watches, and their respective parts. Dials are considered essential components of horological instruments, serving as the face that displays time through markings, numerals, or symbols. According to the Section XVIII notes, parts of clocks or watches are generally classified within heading 9114 if they are not more specifically described elsewhere. The subheading 9114.30 is dedicated specifically to dials for both clocks and watches. These items can be made from a variety of materials, including brass, zinc, plastic, or ceramic, and may be finished with paint, enamel, or plating. The classification remains the same regardless of the material, provided the item is identifiable as being intended solely or principally for use in a clock or watch movement or case.

Codes often confused with 9114.30
Common mistake. Clock dials are sometimes misclassified under the material of construction, such as 3926.90 for plastic items or 7419.80 for copper/brass articles. However, General Rule of Interpretation 1 dictates that the specific heading for clock parts (9114) takes precedence. They may also be confused with 9114.90, which is the residual category for other clock parts, but since dials have a specific subheading (9114.30), that code must be used. Dials for instruments other than clocks (e.g., pressure gauges) fall under Chapter 90.

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).
