9108.19 - Other:

This HTS category, 9108.19, encompasses electrically operated watch movements that are complete and assembled, excluding those with purely mechanical displays or opto-electronic displays. These movements represent the internal mechanisms of watches and are powered by electricity, typically through batteries. The "Other" designation signifies that these movements do not fit the specific criteria outlined in the preceding sibling categories within 9108.1.

To differentiate, 9108.11 covers electrically operated watch movements with mechanical display capabilities, while 9108.12.00 specifically addresses movements with opto-electronic displays only. Therefore, 9108.19 is for electrically powered movements that do not exclusively utilize mechanical or opto-electronic display mechanisms, or those that incorporate a combination of display types not captured by the other subheadings.

Within 9108.19, further distinctions are made based on the presence of jewels. Subcategory 9108.19.40 applies to movements that contain no jewels or only a single jewel, which are components that reduce friction. Subcategory 9108.19.80, conversely, covers all other electrically operated watch movements that fall under the broader 9108.19 classification and possess more than one jewel.
