9113.20.20.00 - Valued not over $5 per dozen

This HTS subheading specifically covers watch straps, watch bands, and watch bracelets, as well as their component parts, when these items are manufactured from base metal. This includes articles that may be plated with gold or silver. The key material characteristic for classification under 9113.20 is the use of base metal for the principal components of the strap, band, or bracelet.

The primary distinction for this specific classification, 9113.20.20.00, lies in its value threshold. It is reserved for watch straps, bands, and bracelets of base metal that are valued at not over $5 per dozen. This contrasts with its sibling category, 9113.20.40.00, which covers identical items of base metal but are valued over $5 per dozen. Therefore, the per-unit value is the critical factor in differentiating between these two closely related subheadings.

As this subheading is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subdivisions. Classification within this category is determined by the material (base metal, whether or not plated) and the value (not over $5 per dozen) of the watch strap, band, or bracelet. This ensures a precise classification for these types of watch accessories based on their material composition and economic valuation.
