Watches; incomplete movements, assembled

HS v2022 Code: 911012

About watches; incomplete movements, assembled

HS code 911012 covers the import and export of incomplete watch movements that have been assembled. This industry plays a crucial role in the global watch manufacturing supply chain, providing the essential components that allow watch brands to assemble their final products. As a key input for the broader watch industry, the trade of these incomplete movements is an important indicator of activity and trends within the watch manufacturing sector.

Production process

The production of incomplete watch movements involves a series of specialized manufacturing processes. This typically includes the precision machining of individual components, such as the mainspring, gears, and escapement mechanism. These parts are then carefully assembled into a partially complete movement, which can then be supplied to watch brands for final assembly and incorporation into their timepieces.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of incomplete watch movements under HS code 911012 include high-precision metal components, specialized machinery for component fabrication and assembly, as well as skilled labor to carry out the intricate manufacturing processes. Access to a reliable supply of raw materials, such as metals and lubricants, is also crucial for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 911012 is the incomplete watch movement, which is then supplied to watch manufacturers and brands 911011 Watches; cases and parts thereof and 911029 Watches; other for final assembly into complete timepieces. These incomplete movements are a critical input for the broader watch industry, enabling the production of a wide range of watch models and styles.
