9106

Analysis

Heading 9106 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers time of day recording apparatus and apparatus for measuring, recording or otherwise indicating intervals of time, with clock or watch movement or with synchronous motor (for example, time registers, time-recorders). It divides into 2 six-digit subheadings and 7 eight-digit tariff lines, with 6 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.

None of its 7 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 3.9% to 3.9% with a median of 3.9%, so the line you choose sets the duty.

6 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 9106.90 (other, 6 lines) and 9106.10 (unnamed, 1 line).

By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing (334519) and Totalizing Fluid Meter and Counting Device Manufacturing (334514). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
