Analysis
HTS 9108.11.80 covers with mechanical display only or with a device to which a mechanical display can be incorporated: other under heading 9108 (watch movements, complete and assembled).
The general rate is 72¢ each + 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 72¢ each + 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.
Every edition we compared, from Jan 2023 to Oct 2026 (Rev. 22), shows the same general rate of 72¢ each + 5.3% on the battery.
