9113 90
Overview
HTS category 9113 encompasses a range of items specifically designed to secure watches to a person's wrist or as decorative elements attached to the watch case. This includes watch straps, watch bands, and watch bracelets, as well as any constituent parts thereof. The primary function is to provide a means of attachment and enhance the aesthetic appeal of a watch.
This category is distinct from its sibling categories within the broader HTS structure, which cover a vast array of goods from live animals (Chapter 01) to machinery and electrical equipment. Within its own chapter (91), it differentiates itself from finished clocks and watches by focusing solely on the accessories that complete the timepiece as a wearable item.
Subcategories within 9113 further refine classification based on the material composition of the watch strap, band, or bracelet. This allows for precise tariff application, distinguishing between items made from precious metals or clad thereof (9113.10.00.00), those crafted from base metals, which may include plating with precious metals (9113.20), and all other materials such as leather, fabric, plastic, or rubber (9113.90).
