Last updated: July 2026 dataBattery-powered wrist watches with analog (mechanical) displays in non-precious-metal cases form the broadest and most commercially active segment of the Chapter 91 watch trade, spanning mass-market fashion watches through mid-tier sport models. Switzerland and Japan lead US supply, with China a major third source — a supplier mix that reflects both Swiss-branded quartz movements assembled in lower-cost cases and Japanese-movement watches across a wide price range. The US schedule is exceptionally granular under this heading, differentiating components (movements, cases, straps, batteries) by jewel count, band material (textile versus base metal versus gold/silver-plated), and case material across dozens of 10-digit lines. Importers of complete watches and separately imported components must identify the correct line based on all three variables simultaneously.

Gold- or silver-plated cases occupy a middle tier between solid precious metal (heading 9101) and unplated base metal, and the US schedule assigns them to distinct 10-digit lines — for example, 9102113010–9102113040 for movements, cases, straps, and batteries with gold/silver-plated cases versus 9102114510–9102114540 for other base metal cases. The plating specification must be confirmed by the manufacturer, as misidentifying a plated case as unplated (or vice versa) results in an incorrect 10-digit classification and potential duty underpayment.
For separately imported straps under this heading, the correct line depends on three factors: (1) the jewel count of the movement in the parent watch (no/one jewel versus more than one jewel), (2) the strap material (textile, gold/silver-plated metal, or other base metal), and (3) whether the strap is imported with or without the watch. Importers should maintain a cross-reference between the strap's material specification and the parent watch's movement documentation to select the correct line from the applicable series.
