9113.20.90.00 - Other

This HTS subheading, 9113.20.90.00, specifically addresses "Other" parts of watch straps, watch bands, and watch bracelets that are made of base metal, irrespective of whether they are plated with gold or silver. This category encompasses a broad range of components, excluding those specifically enumerated in other subheadings at this level. Examples might include clasps, buckles, or decorative elements made from base metals like brass, stainless steel, or aluminum, designed for use with watch straps, bands, or bracelets.

The crucial distinction for this subheading lies in its residual nature. Unlike sibling categories that may define parts based on specific product types or value thresholds, 9113.20.90.00 captures all other base metal parts of watch straps, bands, and bracelets that do not fall into more narrowly defined classifications. For instance, it serves as the destination for base metal components of watch bracelets whose value exceeds the threshold specified for subheading 9113.20.60.00.

As this is a terminal node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under 9113.20.90.00 is dependent on the material being base metal, the item being a part of a watch strap, band, or bracelet, and its exclusion from more specific classifications.
