Product classification
HS code for Table clocks: 9105.99
Clocks, (excluding those with watch movements and instrument panel clocks), other than alarm or wall clocks, other than electrically operated.
Classification of table clocks under HS 9105.99
Table clocks are classified under HS code 9105.99 when they are not electrically operated and do not function as alarm clocks or wall clocks. Chapter 91 governs all horological instruments, including watches and clocks. Heading 9105 is the category for "Other clocks," which excludes those with watch movements (which are classified under 9103). Within 9105, the system differentiates by function (alarm, wall, or other) and by power source (battery/electric vs. mechanical). Subheading 9105.99 serves as the residual category for mechanical table or desk clocks that lack an alarm mechanism. These are typically spring-driven or weight-driven decorative pieces used on mantels, desks, or tables.

Codes often confused with 9105.99
Common mistake. Table clocks are often misclassified under HS code 9105.91 if they are battery-powered or plug-in electric; 9105.91 is specifically for electrically operated "other" clocks. Another common error is using 9105.19, which is for mechanical alarm clocks. If the table clock has any alarm function, it must be moved to the alarm clock subheadings. Additionally, if the clock contains a watch movement (generally defined by thickness and diameter limits), it must be classified under heading 9103 rather than 9105.
Top exporters and importers of HS 910599 (the code used for table clocks), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 910599 (the code used for table clocks) in UN Comtrade data was Switzerland, with 39% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Switzerland, with 19% 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).
