Clock cases and cases of a similar type for other goods of this chapter and parts thereof
HS v2017 Code: 9112
About clock cases and cases of a similar type for other goods of this chapter and parts thereof
hs code 9112 covers the production and trade of clock cases and similar enclosures for a variety of goods within the broader chapter of time-keeping devices. This industry plays a crucial role in the manufacturing and distribution of finished products, providing essential components that protect and house the internal mechanisms of clocks, watches, and other time-keeping instruments. As a key part of the broader timepiece industry, the 9112 classification is an important contributor to the global economy.
Production process
The production of clock cases and similar enclosures typically involves a range of metalworking and finishing techniques. This may include stamping, casting, or machining of the case body, followed by processes such as plating, painting, or polishing to achieve the desired aesthetic and protective qualities. Specialized tools and equipment are used to ensure the cases are precisely manufactured to fit the intended timepiece components.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the 9112 industry include various metals (such as brass, steel, or aluminum), as well as specialized hardware and fasteners. Depending on the design, additional materials like plastics, glass, or decorative elements may also be incorporated. Manufacturers in this sector rely on a network of suppliers to source the necessary raw materials and components to support their production processes.
Production outputs
The primary output of the 9112 industry is the clock cases and similar enclosures that are then consumed by manufacturers of 9101 Wristwatches, pocket-watches and other watches, including stopwatches, 9102 Clocks with watch movements, and 9105 Other clocks. These cases provide the protective and aesthetic housing for the internal mechanisms of a wide range of timepieces, ensuring their proper function and appearance.
