9102.19 - Other:
Sub-classifications
Overview
This HTS category, 9102.19, encompasses electrically operated wrist watches that do not fit into the more specific subcategories based on their display type. These timepieces are characterized by their battery-powered movements and are worn on the wrist, often featuring functions beyond simple timekeeping, such as a stop-watch facility.
The key distinction of this category lies in its exclusion of wrist watches with solely mechanical displays (9102.11) and those with purely opto-electronic displays (9102.12). Therefore, 9102.19 is reserved for electrically operated wrist watches that incorporate a combination of display technologies, or those where the display mechanism does not exclusively fall into the mechanical or opto-electronic categories as defined for the sibling headings.
Within this classification, further distinctions are made based on the presence of jewels in the movement. Subcategories differentiate between watches having no jewels or only one jewel in their movement and all other watches in this group. This subdivision is crucial for precise tariff determination, reflecting differences in the complexity and quality of the internal mechanisms.
