9108.90.80.00 - Valued not over $15 each

This HTS classification, 9108.90.80.00, covers complete and assembled watch movements that are classified under "other" watch movements not specified in preceding subheadings. Specifically, it pertains to those watch movements that contain more than 7 jewels but not more than 17 jewels, and fall within the "other" category for movements with this jewel count. The key defining characteristic for this subheading is the stated value of the watch movement, which must not exceed $15 each.

This category is distinguished from its sibling category, 9108.90.85.00, solely by the declared value. While both subheadings cover watch movements with over 7 but not over 17 jewels, and fall under the broader "other" classification for movements with that jewel count, 9108.90.80.00 applies to those valued at $15 or less, whereas 9108.90.85.00 applies to those valued at more than $15. This distinction is crucial for accurate customs reporting and duty assessment.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 9108.90.80.00 is final once the criteria of being a complete, assembled watch movement, containing between 8 and 17 jewels inclusive, falling under the "other" classification for that jewel range, and having a value not exceeding $15 each, have been met.
