9102.12.40.00 - Other

This HTS category, 9102.12.40.00, encompasses "Other" wrist watches that are electrically operated and feature only an opto-electronic display. These are watches, typically worn on the wrist, that derive their timekeeping function from electrical power. The defining characteristic of this subheading is the presence of an opto-electronic display, such as an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) or LED (Light Emitting Diode) screen, which is the sole method of displaying the time.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 9102.12.20.00, which specifically covers wrist watches with opto-electronic displays where the strap, band, or bracelet is made of textile material or base metal (whether or not gold- or silver-plated). The distinction lies in the composition of the watch's band or bracelet, and the presence of additional U.S. notes may further define specific inclusions for straps, bands, or bracelets entered with watches under subheading 9102.12.80.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification here is definitive for electrically operated wrist watches with opto-electronic displays that do not fit the specific material criteria of the preceding sibling category. Examples would include such watches with bands made of materials not specified in 9102.12.20.00, such as certain plastics, rubber, or leather, provided they meet the other conditions for this subheading.
