About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This HTS classification, 9112.20.40.00, specifically pertains to cases constructed from metal that are designed for clocks and watches, or for other goods falling within Chapter 91 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. These are typically the outer casings or housings that protect the internal mechanisms of timekeeping devices and their related components. The defining characteristic for this subheading is the material composition, requiring the primary material of the case to be metal.

This category can be distinguished from its sibling category, 9112.20.80.00 "Other cases," by its explicit requirement for a metal construction. The sibling category would encompass cases for clocks and watches made from materials other than metal, such as plastic, wood, or leather, or composite cases where metal is not the predominant material. Therefore, the presence and dominance of metal as the case material is the key differentiator.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 9112.20.40.00 is final based on the goods being metal cases for clocks, watches, or other articles within Chapter 91. Importers and exporters should ensure that the predominant material of the case is indeed metal to correctly classify goods under this specific subheading.
