9101
Wrist watches, pocket watches and other watches, including stop watches, with case of precious metal or of metal clad with precious metal
Analysis
Heading 9101 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers wrist watches, pocket watches and other watches, including stop watches, with case of precious metal or of metal clad with precious metal. It divides into 6 six-digit subheadings and 24 eight-digit tariff lines, with 8 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
9 of its 13 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (69%) and 4 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 3.1%. The median line pays duty-free.
Its median rate of duty-free sits at the 20th percentile of the headings in chapter 91.
11 of the lines carry specific or compound rates (per kilogram, per dozen and so on) rather than a percentage, so their burden depends on the unit value of the goods.
The largest subheadings are 9101.29 (other, 8 lines), 9101.21 (with automatic winding, 4 lines), 9101.99 (other, 4 lines) and 9101.19 (other, 3 lines).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing (334519). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
