Complete movements, unassembled or partly assembled (movement sets)

Analysis

HTS 9110.90.20 covers complete movements, unassembled or partly assembled (movement sets) under heading 9110 (complete watch or clock movements, unassembled or partly assembled (movement sets)…).

The general rate is The rate applicable to the complete, assembled movement, 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 Chile FTA, and 13 others can enter duty-free instead of paying The rate applicable to the complete, assembled movement. 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.
