9102.29.02.00 - Straps, bands or bracelets entered with watches of subheading 9102.29.04 and classifiable therewith pursuant to additional U.S. note 2 to this chapter; all the foregoing whether or not attached to such watches at the time of entry 🖩

This HTS classification covers straps, bands, or bracelets specifically intended to accompany watches classified under subheading 9102.29.04. These accompanying watchbands are classifiable with the watches themselves, as stipulated by Additional U.S. Note 2 to Chapter 91, regardless of whether they are attached to the watch at the time of import. This rule ensures that the watchband is treated as part of the watch for customs purposes, facilitating consistent duty assessment.

This category is distinct from its sibling category, 9102.29.04, which covers the "Other" wrist watches themselves that do not fall under more specific classifications. While 9102.29.04 encompasses the complete timepiece, this subheading specifically addresses the accompanying strap, band, or bracelet when it is imported with a watch of that specific nature. The focus here is on the accessory component as defined by its intended pairing with a particular type of watch.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within this heading hinges on the specific watch with which the strap, band, or bracelet is intended to be used, as defined by the reference to subheading 9102.29.04 and the governing Additional U.S. Note. The presence or absence of jewels in the watch's movement, and whether it features a textile or base metal strap, band, or bracelet (whether or not gold- or silver-plated), are key determining factors within the broader context of Chapter 91.
