9103.90.00 - Other

HTS code 9103.90.00 encompasses "Other" clocks with watch movements, excluding those specifically classified under heading 9104. This category serves as a residual for any clocks featuring mechanisms akin to those found in watches, which are not electrically operated. The defining characteristic is the integration of a watch-style movement into a clock intended for general timekeeping or decorative purposes, but without the primary reliance on electrical power for their operation.

This classification distinguishes itself from its sibling, 9103.10, which specifically covers electrically operated clocks with watch movements. Therefore, 9103.90.00 would apply to timepieces powered by traditional mechanical means such as winding springs, pendulums, or other non-electrical motive forces, provided they incorporate a watch movement. This can include, but is not limited to, certain mantel clocks, carriage clocks, or table clocks that utilize such mechanisms.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. The classification of a clock under 9103.90.00 hinges on the presence of a watch movement and its non-electrical operational nature. Importers and exporters should carefully examine the power source and internal mechanism of the timepiece to ensure correct classification, as the distinction from electrically powered alternatives is crucial for accurate customs declarations.
