Last updated: April 2026 dataPlates and bridges are the structural framework components of clock and watch movements — the bottom plates, pillar plates, and bridge assemblies that hold gear trains and other movement parts in precise alignment. The US schedule subdivides them by application: watch movement bottom/pillar plates (9114402000), sets of plates (9114404000), plates and bridges for watches (9114406000), and clock plates and bridges (9114408000). Switzerland is the primary US import source, consistent with its role as the global center for precision movement manufacturing, with Hong Kong and Japan also supplying significant volumes.

A bottom plate (also called a pillar plate or main plate) is the foundational structural component on which all other movement parts are mounted. Bridges are secondary plates that cover and secure specific gear trains or components (e.g., the barrel bridge, the train bridge). Both are classified within 911440, but the specific 10-digit line depends on whether the article is a bottom/pillar plate, a set of plates, or a bridge for a watch or clock movement.
Watch plates and clock plates are classified under different 10-digit lines within 911440 and must be declared separately on the entry. Commingling without separate line items is a common compliance issue. Importers should ensure commercial invoices itemize watch-specific and clock-specific components distinctly, with quantities and values allocated to each.
