9902.17.43 - Mechanical clock movements, presented complete and assembled, valued over $5 each, suitable for use in the production of grandfather clocks, wall clocks or mantel clocks (provided for in subheading 9109.90.60)

This HTS classification, 9902.17.43, specifically covers mechanical clock movements that are presented in a complete and assembled state. The value of these movements must exceed $5 each. Critically, these movements are designated for use in the manufacture of grandfather clocks, wall clocks, or mantel clocks. The underlying reference to subheading 9109.90.60 indicates these movements are intended for use in clock mechanisms falling under that broader category.

As a temporary legislation code within Chapter 99, this entry acts as a specific modification or provision that supersedes or supplements the standard classification under Chapter 91. It's important to distinguish this category from other HTS codes that might cover general clock components or assembled clocks themselves. This code is narrowly focused on the *movements* intended for specific types of clocks and under particular value conditions, rather than finished timepieces or individual parts.

Since this is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories under 9902.17.43. Classification under this code is definitive for qualifying mechanical clock movements. Importers must ensure that the movements meet all stipulated criteria, including their complete and assembled state, value threshold, and intended end-use in the production of grandfather, wall, or mantel clocks, to be correctly classified under this provision.
