Clock cases and similar cases for other goods of chapter 91; other than watch cases

hs code 911220 covers the production and trade of clock cases and similar cases for other goods of chapter 91, excluding watch cases. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader timepiece and clock manufacturing sector, providing the essential protective enclosures for a wide range of timekeeping devices. As consumer demand for both decorative and functional clocks continues to grow, the 911220 industry remains an integral component of the global timepiece economy.

The production of clock cases and similar cases for chapter 91 goods typically involves a combination of metalworking, woodworking, and precision engineering techniques. Manufacturers may utilize computer-aided design (CAD) software to engineer the cases, followed by processes such as cutting, shaping, and finishing the materials. Depending on the desired aesthetic and functional requirements, cases may be fabricated from metals, woods, plastics, or a combination of materials.

The main inputs required for the 911220 industry include raw materials such as metals (e.g., 720810 steel, 740311 copper), woods (e.g., 440710 lumber), and plastics. Specialized machinery for cutting, shaping, and finishing the cases is also a crucial input. Additionally, the industry relies on skilled labor to design, engineer, and assemble the final products.

The primary output of the 911220 industry is clock cases and similar protective enclosures for a wide range of timepieces and other chapter 91 goods, such as 910100 wristwatches, 910400 alarm clocks, and 910590 other clocks. These cases are then consumed by the manufacturers of the final timekeeping devices, who incorporate them into their products before distribution to retailers and consumers.
