Watches; rough movements

HS v2017 Code: 911019

About watches; rough movements

hs code 911019 covers the classification of watches with rough movements. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader watch and timepiece market, providing the foundational components that enable the production of a wide range of watch types. As a key input for many other watch-related hs codes, the watches classified under 911019 are an essential part of the global watch and clock manufacturing ecosystem.

Production process

The production of watches with rough movements typically involves a multi-step process. This includes the manufacture of the basic movement components, such as the mainspring, gears, and escapement mechanism. These parts are then assembled and adjusted to ensure accurate timekeeping. The watch case, dial, and other exterior elements are then added to create the final product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of watches under hs code 911019 include various metals and alloys for the movement components, as well as specialized tools and machinery for the assembly and finishing processes. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in horology and precision engineering.

Production outputs

Watches classified under hs code 911019 are primarily used as inputs for the production of more complex watch models, as classified under other hs codes such as 911011 Wrist watches, battery or accumulator powered, 911012 Wrist watches, with automatic winding, and 911019 Watches; other.
