9104.00.60 - Other

HTS 9104.00.60 encompasses instrument panel clocks and similar timekeeping devices intended for vehicles, aircraft, spacecraft, and vessels that are not electric or battery-operated. This category specifically includes mechanical clocks that function through traditional wound springs, gears, and escapements, as commonly found in older vehicle models or specialized applications where electrical power is not utilized or preferred. The defining characteristic is their purely mechanical operation, differentiating them from their electrically powered counterparts.

This classification is distinct from HTS 9104.00.50, which exclusively covers electric and battery-operated instrument panel clocks. While both fall under the broader category of instrument panel clocks for various conveyances, the critical distinguishing factor for 9104.00.60 is the absence of any electrical components powering the timekeeping mechanism. Therefore, any clock that relies solely on mechanical power sources for its operation will be classified here.

As a leaf node, HTS 9104.00.60 does not have further subcategories. Classification within this code is determined by the product's mechanical nature and its intended use in the dashboard or control panels of vehicles, aircraft, spacecraft, or vessels. The focus for classification is on the absence of electrical power, rather than specific materials or intricate design features, provided the primary function remains that of a timekeeping instrument for these conveyance types.
