Last updated: August 2026 dataParking meters (9106902000), battery-powered apparatus with opto-electronic displays (9106905510), AC-powered apparatus incorporating clock or watch movements (9106907500), and residual time-of-day recording devices (9106908500) all fall within this catch-all heading for time-measuring instruments not covered elsewhere in Chapter 91. China is the dominant import source, with Indonesia, Canada, Cambodia, and Mexico also supplying the US market. The breadth of the heading means classification disputes are common — particularly for multi-function devices that measure intervals of time as a secondary feature — and the correct 10-digit line depends on power source, display type, and whether the article incorporates a clock or watch movement.

A battery-powered apparatus whose primary function is measuring or recording time and that uses an opto-electronic display falls under 9106905510, provided it is not more specifically described elsewhere in Chapter 91. If the device incorporates a complete clock or watch movement, a different line within the heading may apply. A binding ruling from CBP is advisable for novel or multi-function designs.
Parking meters classified under 9106902000 and originating in China are generally subject to Section 301 tariffs. Importers should verify the current list coverage and applicable rate tier with a licensed customs broker, as the Section 301 action has been subject to ongoing review and modification.
