U.S. imports of Battery-Powered Watch Movements with Mechanical Display (Complete & Assembled) (HS 910811) totaled $811K in August 2026, imported from 4 countries.
Importers of Battery-Powered Watch Movements with Mechanical Display (Complete & Assembled) paid $101K in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 12.44% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 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.
