U.S. imports of electrically operated alarm clocks (HS 910511) totaled $1.8M in April 2026, traded with 11 countries.
Importers of Electrically Operated Alarm Clocks paid $250K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 15% on $1.7M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Electrically Operated Alarm Clocks imports of $1.8M in April 2026 ran 33% below the year-to-date monthly average of $2.6M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataBattery and AC-powered alarm clocks — including travel alarm clocks — are a high-volume consumer goods category where China is overwhelmingly the dominant US import source, with Vietnam and Cambodia also supplying finished goods and components. The US schedule separates AC-powered clocks from battery-powered ones and further distinguishes opto-electronic (digital) display models from conventional display models, with individual lines for movements, cases, and batteries. Importers sourcing from Vietnam or Cambodia should verify rules-of-origin compliance, as movement assembly location can affect origin determination for these multi-component articles.

The US 10-digit lines under 910511 explicitly separate travel alarm clocks (e.g., 9105114020 for movement and case, 9105118020 for movements, 9105118030–9105118040 for cases and batteries) from non-travel alarm clocks (e.g., 9105114040, 9105118050–9105118070). Travel alarm clocks are generally understood to be compact, portable units designed for personal travel use, and CBP may consider size, packaging, and marketing materials in making this determination.
For alarm clocks, CBP applies a 'substantial transformation' test to determine country of origin. If a movement manufactured in one country is merely inserted into a case in a second country without meaningful additional processing, CBP may find that origin remains with the movement's country of manufacture. Given that Vietnam and Cambodia are significant assembly locations for Chinese-origin movements, importers should obtain detailed manufacturing process documentation to support their origin declarations.
