9109.10.30 - Valued not over $5 each

This HTS classification, 9109.10.30, specifically covers electric clock movements that are complete and assembled, intended for use in alarm clocks, and valued at not over $5 each. These are functional clock mechanisms powered by electricity, designed for the particular purpose of sounding an alarm. The emphasis on being "complete and assembled" signifies that the movement is a finished unit ready for integration into an alarm clock housing, rather than individual components.

The primary distinction for this category lies in its value threshold. It is specifically for electric alarm clock movements whose individual value does not exceed $5. This differentiates it from its sibling category, 9109.10.40, which encompasses similar electric alarm clock movements but are valued at over $5 each. This value distinction is a critical factor for customs declaration and duty assessment.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification under 9109.10.30 is solely on identifying complete, assembled, electrically operated alarm clock movements that meet the specified value criterion. Importers and exporters should carefully assess the declared value of these movements to ensure correct classification and compliance with customs regulations.
