With strap, band or bracelet of textile material or of base metal, whether or not gold- or silver-plated: other
Analysis
HTS 9102.11.25 covers with strap, band or bracelet of textile material or of base metal, whether or not gold- or silver-plated: other under heading 9102 (wrist watches, pocket watches and other watches, including stop watches, other than those…).
The general rate is 40¢ each + 8.5% on the case + 14% on the strap, band or bracelet + 5.3% on the battery, a specific or compound duty rather than a simple percentage, so the effective burden depends on the unit value of the goods: cheap goods pay proportionally more than expensive ones. Importers usually convert it to an ad valorem equivalent to compare it with other lines.
Goods that qualify under the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, AGOA, and 12 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 40¢ each + 8.5% on the case + 14% on the strap, band or bracelet + 5.3% on the battery. It is also eligible under GSP, the developing-country programme, which Congress has to renew; check whether GSP is in force on the entry date.
