Analysis
HTS 9104.00.60 covers other: other under heading 9104 (instrument panel clocks and clocks of a similar type for vehicles, aircraft, spacecraft…).
The general rate is 19¢ each + 4.5% on the case, 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 GSP, the Australia FTA, the Automotive Products Trade Act, the Bahrain FTA, the civil aircraft agreement, and 14 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 19¢ each + 4.5% on the case. 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.
Every edition we compared, from Jan 2023 to Oct 2026 (Rev. 22), shows the same general rate of 19¢ each + 4.5% on the case.
