Overview
This HTS subcategory, 9108.90.85.00, specifically covers complete and assembled watch movements that are valued at over $15 each. These movements are characterized by having more than seven but not exceeding seventeen jewels. The jewel count is a critical technical specification that influences the movement's precision and durability.
Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 9108.90.80.00, hinges on the monetary value of the watch movement. While both fall under the umbrella of "Other" watch movements having over 7 but not over 17 jewels, this specific code applies to those with a declared value exceeding $15, whereas the sibling code applies to those valued at $15 or less. This distinction is important for statistical tracking and potential duty calculations.
As a leaf node, 9108.90.85.00 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the classification relies on meeting all the preceding criteria: being a complete and assembled watch movement, possessing between eight and seventeen jewels, and having a declared value exceeding $15. Examples of movements that would fall into this category might include those found in mid-range mechanical or high-quality quartz watches that meet the specified jewel and value thresholds.
