Last updated: August 2026 dataWatch cases and their components — including bezels, backs, crowns, and case middles — are traded as both finished parts for watch assembly and as replacement components for the repair market. Material composition (stainless steel, gold, titanium, plastic) is commercially significant and may affect duty classification at the HTS level. This heading is a key input category for the watch manufacturing and repair industries, and importers sourcing precision metal cases should be prepared to document material specifications and country of origin, particularly given the complexity of multi-country watch component supply chains.

At the SITC level, watch cases and parts are grouped together regardless of material, but at the HTS 10-digit level, material composition — precious metal, base metal, or other — can determine the specific tariff line and applicable duty rate. Importers should specify material on commercial invoices and verify the correct HTS subheading with a customs broker.
Watch cases and parts sourced from China have been subject to Section 301 tariffs. Importers should verify current Section 301 coverage for the specific HTS lines applicable to their goods, as exclusions and modifications have occurred over time.
