U.S. imports of battery-powered pocket watches and other non-wrist watches with base metal cases (HS 910291) totaled $340K in April 2026, traded with 12 countries.
Importers of Battery-Powered Pocket Watches and Other Non-Wrist Watches with Base Metal Cases paid $65K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 19% on $347K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Battery-Powered Pocket Watches and Other Non-Wrist Watches with Base Metal Cases imports of $340K in April 2026 ran 56% above the year-to-date monthly average of $218K.
Last updated: April 2026 dataBattery-powered pocket watches and similar timepieces — excluding wristwatches — housed in base metal cases occupy a niche segment where China is the dominant US import source, with Japan and Switzerland also supplying movements and finished pieces. The US schedule distinguishes between watches with opto-electronic (digital) displays only and those with conventional or mixed displays, and further separates movements, cases, and batteries into individual 10-digit lines. Importers of complete watches versus components must classify each article separately, as the movement, case, and battery lines carry distinct duty treatment.

The heading covers all watches except wristwatches — including pocket watches, pendant watches, and similar forms. The key classification boundary is that wristwatches (designed to be worn on the wrist) fall under heading 9102 subheadings for wristwatches, while any other watch form with a base metal case and battery power falls here. Physical form and intended wearing method are the primary distinguishing factors.
Watches with opto-electronic (LED/LCD) displays only are grouped under specific lines (e.g., 9102912010 for movement and case, 9102912020 for battery), separate from those with mechanical or mixed displays. This distinction affects which 10-digit line applies and can affect duty rates, so importers should confirm display type before filing entry.
