U.S. imports of non-battery pocket watches and other non-wrist watches with base metal cases (HS 910299) totaled $420K in April 2026, traded with 8 countries.
Importers of Non-Battery Pocket Watches and Other Non-Wrist Watches with Base Metal Cases paid $27K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 6.4% on $420K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Non-Battery Pocket Watches and Other Non-Wrist Watches with Base Metal Cases imports of $420K in April 2026 ran 54% above the year-to-date monthly average of $272K.
Last updated: April 2026 dataMechanical and spring-driven pocket watches and similar non-wrist timepieces with base metal cases are a specialty trade where Switzerland and Japan are the leading US suppliers, reflecting the continued artisanal and collector-market demand for non-electric movements. The US schedule stratifies these articles by jewel count (up to 7, 7–17, and over 17 jewels) and unit value, with separate lines for movements and cases at each tier. Importers should note that the absence of battery power — not the watch's form factor — is the primary trigger for classification here rather than under the battery-powered subheading 910291.

The applicable 10-digit line depends on the number of jewels in the movement: lines 9102992010–9102992020 cover movements with no jewels or not over 7 jewels; 9102994010–9102994020 cover over 7 but not over 17 jewels valued not over $15 each; 9102996010–9102996020 cover the same jewel range valued over $15; and 9102998010–9102998020 cover movements with over 17 jewels. Accurate jewel count documentation from the manufacturer is essential.
CBP may request manufacturer's technical specifications, movement caliber sheets, or laboratory analysis confirming the number of functional jewels (bearings) in the movement. Since jewel count directly determines the applicable tariff line and duty rate, discrepancies between declared and actual jewel counts are a common basis for CBP audit findings in the horological category.
