Analysis
HTS 9102.29.02 covers straps, bands or bracelets entered with watches of subheading 9102.29.04 and classifiable therewith pursuant to additional U.S. note 2 to this chapter; all the… under heading 9102 (wrist watches, pocket watches and other watches, including stop watches, other than those…).
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 14%. 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.
The general duty rate is 14% of the customs value, which is among the highest the rates in chapter 91 (99th percentile of 48 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $1,400 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 110%, 7.9 times the general rate.
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing), an industry of 913 US establishments employing 34,818 people. That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
