9102.29.15
With strap, band or bracelet of textile material or of base metal, whether or not gold- or silver-plated
Analysis
HTS 9102.29.15 covers with strap, band or bracelet of textile material or of base metal, whether or not gold- or silver-plated under heading 9102 (wrist watches, pocket watches and other watches, including stop watches, other than those…).
The general rate is 58¢ each + 4.6% on the case + 10.6% on the strap, band or bracelet, 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 58¢ each + 4.6% on the case + 10.6% on the strap, band or bracelet. 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 rate of 58¢ each + 4.6% on the case + 10.6% on the strap, band or bracelet has not changed in any edition of the schedule since Jan 2023.
