U.S. imports of non-electrically operated clocks (other than alarm & wall clocks) (HS 910599) totaled $385K in April 2026, traded with 11 countries.
Importers of Non-Electrically Operated Clocks (Other Than Alarm & Wall Clocks) paid $44K in duties in April 2026 โ an effective duty rate of 11% on $385K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Non-Electrically Operated Clocks (Other Than Alarm & Wall Clocks) imports of $385K in April 2026 ran 64% below the year-to-date monthly average of $1.1M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataSwitzerland leads US imports of non-electric clocks under this heading โ a reflection of the country's concentration in high-value mechanical movements โ with China and Germany also significant sources. The tariff schedule draws sharp distinctions based on movement size (up to or over 50 mm), operating duration without winding (up to or over 47 hours), jewel count, and unit value, all of which affect duty treatment. Marine chronometers with spring-detent escapements (9105991000) occupy a specialized niche used in maritime navigation, while value-based breakpoints at $5 per unit (9105995000 vs. 9105996000) govern the residual NESOI provisions. Accurate classification requires knowing the movement's jewel count and whether the clock can run more than 47 hours on a single winding.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page โ verify before relying on it.
Classification turns on three layered criteria: movement diameter (not over 50 mm vs. over 50 mm), operating duration without winding (not over 47 hours vs. over 47 hours), and jewel count (no jewels or one jewel vs. more than one jewel). Importers should obtain the manufacturer's technical data sheet confirming all three parameters before filing entry.
Switzerland's dominance reflects its concentration in precision mechanical movements โ particularly high-jewel-count, long-running calibers used in premium table and mantel clocks and marine chronometers. These products compete on craftsmanship and heritage rather than price, segments where Swiss manufacturers retain a structural advantage.
