Non-Battery Pocket Watches & Other Non-Wrist Watches with Precious Metal Cases imports of $908K in July 2026 ran 49% above the year-to-date monthly average of $610K.
Last updated: July 2026 dataMechanical (non-battery) pocket watches and other non-wrist timepieces in precious metal cases represent a heritage segment of the watch trade, with Switzerland the dominant US supplier and France, the United Kingdom, and Germany rounding out the primary source countries — a profile that reflects the European fine-watchmaking tradition for dress and collector pieces. The US schedule subdivides components by jewel count across four bands (no jewel or up to 7; over 7 but not over 17 at two value tiers; over 17), with separate lines for movements and cases at each tier. Importers should confirm that the timepiece is not designed for wrist wear, as that determination governs whether classification falls here or in the 910129 manual-wind wrist watch subheadings.

26 shipments/mo
Within the over-7-but-not-over-17-jewel range, the schedule splits movements and cases at a per-unit value threshold: 9101994010 covers movements not over that value, while 9101996010 and 9101996020 cover movements and cases exceeding it. The commercial invoice value per unit must be documented at entry, and importers should ensure the invoice reflects the actual transaction value for each component rather than a bundled or estimated figure.
Antique watches (generally those over 100 years old) may qualify for classification under Chapter 97 as antiques rather than Chapter 91 as watches, which can affect duty treatment. The determination depends on the article's age, supported by provenance documentation such as auction records, manufacturer archives, or independent horological appraisals. Importers of vintage or antique pocket watches should consult a licensed customs broker to assess whether Chapter 97 treatment is appropriate before filing entry.
