9105.19 - Other:

This HTS category, 9105.19, encompasses "Other alarm clocks." This designation applies to alarm clocks that do not meet the criteria for electrically operated alarm clocks under subheading 9105.11. Therefore, it includes a broad range of alarm clocks that are powered by non-electric mechanisms, such as mechanical wind-up movements. The defining characteristic for inclusion here is the presence of an alarm function, differentiating them from general clocks or timekeeping devices without this specific feature.

The primary distinction from its sibling category, 9105.11, lies in the power source. While 9105.11 is reserved for alarm clocks driven by electricity, 9105.19 covers all other alarm clocks, irrespective of their size or specific construction, as long as they are not electrically powered. This means battery-operated alarm clocks, if not falling under a more specific subheading related to their electrical operation, would also be considered here if they are not primarily driven by an electrical mechanism in the sense of mains power.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist to refine classification based on physical dimensions. The subcategories distinguish between alarm clocks with a movement measuring not over 50 millimeters in width or diameter, and those exceeding this size. This dimensional criterion is important for detailed classification and potential statistical tracking of alarm clock production and trade.
