Last updated: August 2026 dataSwitzerland dominates US imports under this heading, reflecting the concentration of mechanical and spring-driven wristwatch production in the Swiss luxury and mid-range segments. The US tariff schedule subdivides these watches with exceptional granularity — separating movements, cases, and straps/bands/bracelets across jewel-count tiers (no jewels through over 17 jewels) and movement diameter thresholds, with the specific 10-digit line determined by the combination of jewel count, case size, and unit value. Germany and Japan also appear as notable suppliers, underscoring that non-battery mechanical movements remain a specialty of established horological industries. Importers should verify jewel count and movement diameter at the time of entry, as misclassification across the many subdivisions is a recurring audit risk.

Classification depends on three layered criteria: the number of jewels in the movement (none/1, over 1 but not over 7, over 7 but not over 17, or over 17), the movement diameter (notably whether it exceeds 15.2 mm), and the unit value (whether it exceeds $15 each). Each combination of these factors maps to a distinct set of movement, case, and band lines within 9102290000–9102295030.
Yes. The US schedule includes dedicated 10-digit lines for straps, bands, and bracelets (e.g., 9102290200 and related band lines) that are classified separately from the movement and case lines. Importers shipping components rather than complete watches must identify whether each component is a movement, case, or band to apply the correct line.
