Last updated: April 2026 dataWatch cases made from materials other than precious metal or base metal — including plastics, ceramics, composites, and other non-metallic materials — are captured here as the residual 'not elsewhere specified' category within the watch case heading group. China leads US supply, with Switzerland, Germany, Japan, and Thailand also present, reflecting both high-volume plastic case production and specialty technical-ceramic cases used in premium sport watches. A single 10-digit line, 9111800000, covers all such cases, so the classification question is primarily one of material identification: confirming the case is neither precious metal nor base metal.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Common materials include injection-molded plastics (ABS, polycarbonate), technical ceramics (zirconia, alumina), carbon fiber composites, and natural materials such as wood or stone. The defining characteristic is that the case is neither precious metal nor base metal, which would place it under 911110 or 911120 respectively.
Classification of composite cases depends on which material imparts the essential character. If the base metal component is structural and dominant, the case may fall under 911120; if the plastic or non-metal element is primary, 911180 is more appropriate. A binding ruling from CBP is advisable for composite constructions where the dominant material is not obvious.
