Last updated: July 2026 dataServing as the ultimate residual heading for clock-movement timepieces, this category captures mechanically powered clocks — not alarm clocks, not wall clocks, and not battery or AC powered — that do not fit any more specific description. Spring-wound desk clocks, antique-style mantel clocks, and other non-electric formats are the most common commercial articles. Importers should work through a classification hierarchy — confirming movement type, power source, and article format — before assigning goods here, as this heading is reached only after ruling out all more specific options.

The importer should first confirm the movement type (watch vs. clock movement), then the power source (battery, AC, or mechanical), and then the article format (alarm, wall, or other). Only after ruling out all more specific headings should goods be assigned to this residual category. A binding ruling request to CBP can provide certainty for recurring shipments of unusual articles.
Genuine antiques over 100 years old may qualify for a separate tariff provision that can affect duty treatment, distinct from the standard clock headings. Importers must provide documentation establishing the age of the article. Modern reproductions of antique styles do not qualify and are classified by their technical characteristics.
