Analysis
Subheading 9101.29 covers other, within heading 9101. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 8 US tariff lines below it are national.
1 of its 3 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (33%) and 2 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 3.1%. The median line pays 3.1%.
The US splits it as follows: 9101.29.10 for having no jewels or only one jewel in the movement (40¢ each + 5% on the case and strap, band or bracelet), 9101.29.20 for having over 1 jewel but not over 7 jewels in the movement (61¢ each + 4.4% on the case and strap, band or bracelet), 9101.29.30 for with movement measuring not over 15.2 mm ($2.28 each + 5% on the case and strap, band or bracelet), 9101.29.40 for with movement measuring over 15.2 mm ($1.92 each + 5% on the case and strap, band or bracelet), 9101.29.50 for with movement valued over $15 each (90¢ each + 4.4% on the case and strap, band or bracelet), 9101.29.70 for of textile material or of base metal, whether or not gold- or… (3.1%), 9101.29.80 for straps, bands or bracelets entered with watches of subheading… (3.1%) and 9101.29.90 for having over 17 jewels in the movement: other (duty-free).
5 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.
