Importers of Parts for Watch Cases paid $203K in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 11.95% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.

Last updated: August 2026 dataBezels, backs, centers, and other components destined for watch cases of any material — precious metal, base metal, or otherwise — are classified here, with the US schedule distinguishing parts for precious-metal cases (9111904000) from base-metal bezels, backs, and centers (9111905000) and other base-metal parts (9111907000). Switzerland leads US supply, with Canada, China, Indonesia, and France also contributing — a supplier mix that spans both luxury Swiss horological supply chains and broader industrial component sourcing. Correct classification requires identifying both the part type and the material of the case it is intended for, not the material of the part itself.

Under the US tariff schedule, the relevant 10-digit line is determined by the material of the watch case the part is designed for — not necessarily the material of the part itself. For example, a stainless steel bezel intended for a gold watch case would be classified under 9111904000 (parts for precious-metal cases), not under the base-metal parts lines.
Manufacturer part numbers, technical drawings, and commercial invoices that identify the component by name (bezel, back, center, crown tube, etc.) are the most useful. CBP may request this detail because 9111905000 specifically names bezels, backs, and centers for base-metal cases, while 9111907000 covers all other base-metal case parts — a distinction that can affect duty treatment.
