Product classification
HS code for Pendulum wall clocks: 9105.29
Clocks, (excluding those with watch movements and instrument panel clocks), wall clocks, other than electrically operated.
Classification of pendulum wall clocks under HS 9105.29
Pendulum wall clocks are classified under HS code 9105.29. Chapter 91 of the Harmonized System covers clocks and watches and parts thereof. Heading 9105 is dedicated to "other clocks," which excludes those with watch movements. Subheading 9105.29 specifically refers to wall clocks that are not electrically operated. A pendulum clock typically relies on a mechanical movement driven by weights or springs, where the pendulum acts as the timekeeping element. Because these clocks do not use a battery or a mains power connection to drive the movement, they fall into the "other than electrically operated" category. This classification is vital for distinguishing traditional horological craftsmanship from modern electronic timepieces. The materials of the case (wood, metal, or plastic) do not change this classification, as the heading is determined by the type of movement and the method of mounting (wall-mounted).

Codes often confused with 9105.29
Common mistake. The most frequent misclassification is HS code 9105.21, which is for electrically operated wall clocks. If a pendulum clock uses a battery to swing the pendulum or move the hands (even if it looks traditional), it must be classified under 9105.21. Additionally, 9105.99 is sometimes used for miscellaneous clocks, but since these are specifically designed to be mounted on a wall, the 9105.2x series is the correct specific category.
Top exporters and importers of HS 910529 (the code used for pendulum wall clocks), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 910529 (the code used for pendulum wall clocks) in UN Comtrade data was Germany, with 24% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 9.8% 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).

Questions about pendulum wall clocks
What is the HS code for Pendulum wall clocks?
The HS code for Pendulum wall clocks is 910529 (Clocks; (excluding those with watch movements and instrument panel clocks), wall clocks, other than electrically operated). The HS code for mechanical (non-electric) pendulum wall clocks is 9105.29.
How do I classify Pendulum wall clocks for customs?
Pendulum wall clocks is classified under HS code 910529 — Clocks; (excluding those with watch movements and instrument panel clocks), wall clocks, other than electrically operated. This is a 6-digit subheading level code.
What if the pendulum clock is powered by a battery?
If the clock uses any form of electricity (like a AA battery), it is classified under HS code 9105.21, regardless of the presence of a pendulum.
Which countries are the top exporters of pendulum wall clocks (HS 910529)?
In 2025, the top exporters of HS 910529 (the code used for pendulum wall clocks) in UN Comtrade data were Germany ($8.0M, 24% of world exports), Switzerland ($6.0M) and India ($4.3M). World exports came to about $34M, adding countries' reported figures and partner-based estimates for those that did not report (UN Comtrade data). Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.
