9105.21.80 - Other

This HTS classification, 9105.21.80, covers electrically operated wall clocks that do not fit into the preceding "with opto-electronic display only" category. This implies that these clocks typically feature traditional mechanical hands or a combination of mechanical and other display types, as long as an opto-electronic display is not the sole or primary display mechanism. The emphasis here is on wall-mounted timepieces powered by electricity, encompassing a wide range of designs and functionalities beyond purely digital or LED displays.

The key differentiator for 9105.21.80 from its sibling, 9105.21.40, lies in the type of display. While 9105.21.40 is exclusively for wall clocks where the time is shown only through an opto-electronic display (such as LED or LCD), this category 9105.21.80 is for those electrically powered wall clocks that do not meet this specific display criterion. This could include clocks with analog dials and hands, or those that might incorporate digital elements in addition to, or instead of, a solely opto-electronic presentation.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories under 9105.21.80. Therefore, classification within this code will depend on the specific features and construction of the electrically operated wall clock, particularly its display mechanism, to ensure it is distinct from clocks classified under sibling codes. Examples could include decorative electrically powered wall clocks with mechanical hands, or combination clocks with both analog hands and a secondary, non-opto-electronic digital display.
