9106.90.85.00 - Other

This HTS code, 9106.90.85.00, encompasses "Other" time recording and interval measuring apparatus that do not fall under the more specific classifications within heading 9106. These are devices that use either a clock or watch movement, or a synchronous motor, to measure, record, or indicate elapsed time. Examples include various types of time stamps, simple mechanical time recorders, and basic interval timers that operate without sophisticated electronic displays or advanced functionalities.

This category serves as a residual for apparatus not otherwise specified. It is distinct from 9106.90.75.00, which specifically covers apparatus with clock or watch movements that are AC powered and feature opto-electronic displays only. Therefore, 9106.90.85.00 would include time recording devices that might use different power sources, have analog displays, or incorporate features beyond just an opto-electronic display, as long as they are designed for measuring or indicating time intervals with a clock/watch movement or synchronous motor.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under 9106.90.85.00 is determined by the exclusion of goods from more specific time-measuring apparatus descriptions within heading 9106, provided they meet the fundamental criteria of utilizing a clock/watch movement or synchronous motor for their timekeeping function.
