U.S. imports of battery-powered watch movements with mechanical display (complete & assembled) (HS 910811) totaled $648K in April 2026, traded with 4 countries.
Importers of Battery-Powered Watch Movements with Mechanical Display (Complete & Assembled) paid $70K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 11% on $648K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Battery-Powered Watch Movements with Mechanical Display (Complete & Assembled) imports of $648K in April 2026 ran 14% below the year-to-date monthly average of $750K.
Last updated: April 2026 dataSwitzerland and Japan are the primary sources of battery-powered watch movements with mechanical displays entering the US, reflecting the concentration of precision horological manufacturing in those two countries. The US schedule subdivides this heading by jewel count — movements with no jewels or one jewel (9108114010) versus those with more jewels (9108118010) — and separately enumerates the batteries that accompany them (9108114020, 9108118020), each requiring its own classification. These movements power the quartz-analog watches that dominate mid-market retail, and importers of movements separate from cases must confirm that the movement is complete and assembled rather than incomplete, as incomplete movements may fall under a different provision.

The US tariff schedule under heading 910811 explicitly provides separate 10-digit lines for the movements and for their accompanying batteries (e.g., 9108114020 and 9108118020). CBP treats the battery as a distinct article for duty purposes, so importers must declare and classify each component on its own line rather than bundling the battery's value into the movement entry.
Movements with no jewels or exactly one jewel are classified under 9108114010 (or 9108118010 for the NESOI tier), while movements with more than one jewel fall under the corresponding higher-jewel provision. The jewel count is a manufacturer-specified parameter and should be confirmed on the technical data sheet; misclassification based on an incorrect jewel count is a common audit finding in this heading.
