HS v2022 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 cases for other goods within Chapter 91 of the Harmonized System (HS) classification. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader clock and watch manufacturing sector, providing the essential protective and decorative housings for a wide range of timekeeping devices. As an integral component of the global timepiece industry, the 9112 product category contributes to the functionality and aesthetic appeal of clocks, watches, and related goods that are in high demand across both consumer and industrial markets.
Production process
The production of clock cases and similar cases typically involves a combination of metalworking, plastics fabrication, and precision assembly techniques. Manufacturers may utilize stamping, casting, or machining processes to shape the case components from materials such as brass, stainless steel, or engineered polymers. These individual parts are then carefully assembled, often with the incorporation of additional features like glass or crystal bezels, to create the final protective enclosure for the timepiece mechanism.
Production inputs
Key inputs for the 9112 industry include a variety of raw materials such as metals, plastics, and glass. Specialized machinery for metalworking, molding, and assembly is also essential. Additionally, skilled labor with expertise in precision manufacturing and quality control is required to ensure the production of high-quality clock cases and related components.
Production outputs
The primary output of the 9112 industry is, of course, clock cases and similar protective housings for goods classified under 9101 Wristwatches, pocket-watches and other watches, including stopwatches, 9102 Clocks, and 9111 Watch cases and parts thereof. These cases are then incorporated into the final timepiece products, which are distributed and sold to consumers and industrial users worldwide.
