Clock movements; complete and assembled
HS v2017 Code: 9109
About clock movements; complete and assembled
hs code 9109 covers the import and export of complete and assembled clock movements. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader timekeeping and precision instruments sector, which is an important component of the global manufacturing economy. Clock movements are the core mechanisms that power a wide range of timepieces, from traditional analog clocks to modern digital displays, making this code relevant across numerous consumer and industrial applications.
Production process
The production of complete and assembled clock movements involves several key steps. First, the individual components such as gears, springs, and escapements are manufactured using specialized machinery and precision engineering techniques. These components are then carefully assembled and calibrated to ensure accurate and reliable timekeeping. Quality control measures are implemented throughout the production process to maintain high standards and consistency.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of clock movements covered under hs code 9109 include a variety of metals, plastics, and other materials used to fabricate the individual components. Additionally, specialized tools, machinery, and skilled labor are essential for the assembly and calibration of the final product. Manufacturers in this industry also rely on a steady supply of power sources, such as batteries or electrical connections, to enable the clock movements to function.
Production outputs
The primary output of the industry described by hs code 9109 is complete and assembled clock movements, which are then incorporated into a wide range of timepieces and devices. These clock movements may be used in 9101 Wristwatches, pocket-watches and other watches, including stop-watches, 9102 Clocks with watch movements, and 9103 Alarm clocks and wall clocks, among other products. The clock movements produced under this code are essential components that enable the timekeeping functionality of these various consumer and industrial applications.
