Clock movements; complete and assembled, other than electrically operated

hs code 910990 covers the import and export of clock movements that are complete and assembled, but not electrically operated. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader timepiece and horology sector, providing the essential mechanical components that power traditional analog clocks and watches. As consumer demand for high-quality, artisanal timepieces continues to grow, the 910990 industry remains an important contributor to the global economy.

The production of clock movements covered under hs code 910990 typically involves precision engineering and assembly techniques. Manufacturers source and machine the individual components, such as gears, springs, and escapement mechanisms, before carefully assembling them into a complete, functioning movement. Quality control and testing are critical steps to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the final product.

Key inputs for the 910990 industry include specialized metals, jewels, and lubricants used in the construction of the clock movement components. Manufacturers also rely on high-precision machinery and tools to machine the parts to tight tolerances. Additionally, skilled labor with expertise in horology and mechanical assembly is an essential resource for this industry.

The primary output of the 910990 industry is complete, non-electrically operated clock movements that can be incorporated into a wide range of timepiece products. These movements may be used in 911390 Clocks with watch movements, excluding clocks of heading 9101 or 9102, 911410 Other clocks, or even 911430 Instrument panel clocks and clocks of a similar type for vehicles, aircraft, spacecraft or vessels.
