HS v2017 Code: 911011

About watches; complete movements, unassembled or partly assembled (movement sets)

hs code 911011 covers the import and export of complete watch movements, either unassembled or partially assembled. This industry is a critical component of the global watch manufacturing and trade ecosystem, providing the essential mechanical components that power a wide range of timepieces. As a high-precision industry, the production and trade of watch movements play a significant role in the broader luxury goods and fashion sectors.

Production process

The production of watch movements classified under hs code 911011 involves a series of intricate and specialized manufacturing processes. Key steps include the precision machining of individual components, such as gears, springs, and escapement mechanisms, as well as the careful assembly and testing of the complete movement. Advanced automation and quality control measures are essential to ensure the reliability and accuracy of these delicate mechanisms.

Production inputs

The manufacture of watch movements requires a range of specialized inputs, including high-grade metals, jewels, and lubricants. Precision machinery and tools, as well as skilled labor, are also critical inputs for this industry. Additionally, access to advanced research and development capabilities is important for innovating and improving movement designs.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by hs code 911011 is the supply of complete watch movements to 911012 Watches; complete movements, assembled and 911390 Clocks and watches, parts manufacturers. These movements are then incorporated into a wide range of timepieces, from luxury watches to more affordable consumer models, serving the global demand for precision timekeeping.
