Wrist-watches; electrically operated, with or without a stop-watch, (other than those of heading no. 9101) with opto-electronic display only

HS v2017 Code: 910212

About wrist-watches; electrically operated, with or without a stop-watch, (other than those of heading no. 9101) with opto-electronic display only

hs code 910212 covers the import and export of electrically operated wrist-watches, with or without a stop-watch function, that have an opto-electronic display. This category of watches is distinct from the more traditional mechanical and quartz-based watches covered under 910111 Wrist-watches, pocket-watches and other watches, including stop-watches, with case of precious metal or of metal clad with precious metal. The 910212 code plays a crucial role in the global timepiece industry, catering to the growing demand for technologically advanced and visually striking wrist-wear.

Production process

The production of watches under hs code 910212 typically involves the assembly of various electronic components, including microprocessors, LED or LCD displays, and power sources. The process often begins with the manufacture of the watch case, which can be made from a range of materials such as stainless steel, titanium, or high-impact plastics. The electronic movement, including the timekeeping mechanism and display, is then carefully integrated into the case, ensuring a seamless and durable final product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of watches under hs code 910212 include electronic components such as microchips, display panels, and batteries. Additionally, the watch cases and bands may be sourced from specialized manufacturers of metal, plastic, or leather components. Precision tools and equipment for the assembly and testing of the watches are also essential inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

Watches classified under hs code 910212 are primarily consumed by the retail and e-commerce sectors, catering to the personal accessory and fashion needs of consumers. These watches may also be used in specialized applications, such as sports and fitness tracking, where the opto-electronic display provides enhanced functionality. Other industries that may consume the output of this code include 851712 Telephones for cellular networks or for other wireless networks, as the display technology used in 910212 watches may be incorporated into mobile communication devices.
