Clock movements; complete and assembled, electrically operated

HS code 910910 covers the import and export of complete and assembled, electrically operated clock movements. This industry plays a crucial role in the global timekeeping market, providing the essential components that power a wide range of clocks, watches, and other time-keeping devices. As technology continues to advance, the demand for reliable and precise clock movements has become increasingly important, driving growth and innovation within this sector.

The production of clock movements classified under HS code 910910 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the individual components, such as gears, springs, and escapement mechanisms, are precisely engineered and manufactured. These components are then carefully assembled, often using automated machinery, to create the complete clock movement. Quality control and testing procedures are essential to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the final product.

The main inputs required for the production of clock movements under HS code 910910 include high-precision metal components, electronic circuitry, and specialized machinery. Manufacturers in this industry rely on a steady supply of raw materials, such as steel, brass, and other alloys, to fabricate the intricate parts that make up the clock movement. Additionally, advanced electronic components, including microprocessors and integrated circuits, are necessary to provide the electrical power and control systems that enable the clock's operation.

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 910910 is complete and assembled, electrically operated clock movements. These clock movements are then incorporated into a wide range of products, including 910111 Wrist watches, electrically operated, 910121 Other watches, electrically operated, 910290 Other clocks, and 910400 Instrument panel clocks and clocks of a similar type for vehicles. The clock movements produced under this code are essential components that enable the timekeeping functionality of these diverse products.
