HS v2022 Code: 910812

About watch movements; complete and assembled, electrically operated, by means of solar cells, with opto-electronic display

HS code 910812 covers the import and export of complete and assembled watch movements that are electrically operated by means of solar cells and feature an opto-electronic display. This industry plays a crucial role in the global watch and timepiece market, providing the essential components that power many of the world's most advanced and sophisticated watches. As consumer demand for innovative, energy-efficient, and technologically-advanced timepieces continues to grow, the 910812 industry remains an important contributor to the broader luxury goods and consumer electronics sectors.

Production process

The production of watch movements covered under HS code 910812 involves a complex series of precision engineering and assembly processes. Key steps include the manufacture of individual movement components such as the mainspring, gears, and electronic circuits, followed by the careful assembly and testing of the complete movement. Advanced techniques like micro-machining, laser welding, and automated assembly are commonly employed to ensure the high levels of accuracy and reliability required for these specialized watch components.

Production inputs

The 910812 industry relies on a range of specialized inputs, including precious metals like gold and platinum for movement components, advanced electronic and opto-electronic parts, and specialized machinery and tools for precision manufacturing. High-quality quartz crystals, solar cells, and other power sources are also essential inputs for the production of these electrically-operated watch movements.

Production outputs

Watch movements classified under HS code 910812 are primarily consumed by the 920110 Watch cases and 920211 Watch straps, bands and bracelets industries, which incorporate these components into complete, finished watches. The outputs of the 910812 industry also serve as inputs for the broader 910400 Instrument panel clocks and clocks of a similar type for vehicles and 910800 Watch movements, complete and assembled sectors.
