9102
Wrist watches, pocket watches and other watches, including stop watches, other than those of heading 9101
Analysis
Heading 9102 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers wrist watches, pocket watches and other watches, including stop watches, other than those of heading 9101. It divides into 7 six-digit subheadings and 41 eight-digit tariff lines, with 4 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
The spread of 14 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 14%, applies to 9102.29.02 (straps, bands or bracelets entered with watches…).
3 of its 4 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (75%) and 1 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 14%. The median line pays duty-free.
Its median rate of duty-free sits at the 20th percentile of the headings in chapter 91.
37 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 9102.29 (other, 13 lines), 9102.11 (with mechanical display only, 8 lines), 9102.21 (with automatic winding, 6 lines) and 9102.19 (other, 4 lines).
