Last updated: August 2026 dataManual-wind mechanical wrist watches in precious metal cases occupy one of the most granular sections of Chapter 91, with the US schedule subdividing components across jewel-count bands (no jewel or up to 1 jewel; over 1 but not over 7; over 7 but not over 17; over 17) and, within the 7-to-17-jewel band, by unit value thresholds and movement diameter. Switzerland leads US imports under this heading, followed by Germany and France — a supplier profile consistent with the heading's orientation toward traditional fine watchmaking. Importers of complete watches should note that the movement's jewel count and, in some bands, the case diameter and per-unit value all affect the correct 10-digit line, making manufacturer technical documentation essential at entry.

Because the schedule branches on jewel count, movement diameter (e.g., not over 15.2 mm versus larger), and per-unit value within certain jewel bands, importers need the manufacturer's movement specification sheet confirming jewel count and caliber dimensions, plus the commercial invoice showing per-unit value. For watches in the 7-to-17-jewel range, both the diameter and value thresholds must be verified before selecting the correct line from the 9101293010–9101295030 series.
Yes. The schedule provides separate lines for textile straps (e.g., 9101297000) and non-textile straps (9101298000) for over-17-jewel watches, reflecting that strap material affects the applicable duty. For lower jewel-count bands, strap lines are also separated by material. Importers sourcing replacement straps separately from the watch movement and case must identify the correct component line based on both the strap material and the parent watch's jewel count.
