Overview
HTS code 9105.11 classifies electrically operated alarm clocks that are specifically designed to alert the user at a preset time. This category encompasses a wide range of alarm clocks powered by electricity, including those that utilize mechanical bells, electronic sounds, or synthesized tones for their alarm function. The primary distinguishing feature is their electrical operation and their core purpose as an alarm device.
This specific classification is differentiated from its sibling category, 9105.19 ("Other"), which covers electrically operated alarm clocks that do not fall into the specific subcategories defined under 9105.11. Essentially, 9105.11 captures a more granular set of electrically operated alarm clocks based on their display technology.
Within 9105.11, further subdivisions exist to provide more precise classification. The subcategory 9105.11.40 is designated for alarm clocks that feature an opto-electronic display exclusively, such as LED or LCD screens. Conversely, 9105.11.80 encompasses all other electrically operated alarm clocks within this group that do not solely rely on an opto-electronic display for time indication, potentially including those with analog dials or other display types alongside their electrical alarm mechanism.
