Watches; incomplete movements, assembled

HS v2017 Code: 911012

About watches; incomplete movements, assembled

hs code 911012 covers the import and export of watches with incomplete movements that have been assembled. This industry plays a crucial role in the global luxury goods market, providing components for the production of high-end timepieces. As a key part of the broader 9101 Watches and clocks industry, the 911012 code represents a significant segment of international trade and economic activity.

Production process

The production of watch movements covered under hs code 911012 involves a series of specialized techniques. This includes the assembly of individual components such as the mainspring, gears, and escapement mechanism into a cohesive movement. Precision engineering and quality control are essential to ensure the accurate timekeeping and durability of these incomplete watch movements.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of hs code 911012 items include high-quality metals, jewels, and specialized machinery. Watchmakers rely on materials like brass, steel, and synthetic rubies to construct the intricate components of the watch movement. Additionally, specialized tools and equipment are necessary to assemble these delicate mechanisms with the utmost precision.

Production outputs

The primary output of the hs code 911012 industry is incomplete watch movements that are then incorporated into the production of finished timepieces. These components are often consumed by manufacturers under 9102 Wrist watches, pocket watches, and other watches, including stop watches and 9103 Clocks with watch movements, excluding clocks of heading 9104 codes, who assemble the complete watch mechanisms and housings.
