Chapter 91 covers clocks and watches and their parts, including timepieces, clocks, watches, clock and watch movements, and parts. This chapter is divided into complete clocks and watches (headings 9101-9105), clock and watch movements (9108-9110), clock and watch parts (9111-9114), and time recorders (9106-9107), etc. Vehicle clock movements, as a type of clock movement, fall within the core commodity scope of this chapter. Heading 9109 covers other clock movements, i.e., clock movements other than those of heading 9108 (complete watch movements, assembled). This includes clock movements, assembled or unassembled, used to drive clocks, vehicle clocks, dashboard clocks, etc. Movements under this heading typically operate mechanically or electronically, but exclude watch movements (9108) and complete clocks (9105). First 2 digits 91: Chapter 91, clocks and watches and their parts. Digits 3-4, 09: heading 9109, other clock movements. Digits 5-6, 10: subheading 910910, i.e., "vehicle clock movements," specifically referring to movements used for dashboard or interior clocks in vehicles (such as automobiles, motorcycles, etc.). This subheading further specifies the use, distinguishing it from other clock movements (such as 910990). Vehicle clock movements are specifically used for vehicle timekeeping. Their structure, dimensions, and power supply method differ from ordinary clock movements, but they do not constitute a complete clock (9105) or watch movement (9108). Therefore, they are classified under 9109, and due to their specific use, fall under subheading 910910. If they were watch movements, they would be classified under 9108; if they were complete vehicle clocks, they would be classified under 9105.

Product Name: The Chinese and foreign language names of the declared commodity shall accurately reflect the product attributes, such as "vehicle clock movement." Brand: Fill in the manufacturer or brand name; if there is no brand, fill in "no brand." Model: Fill in the specific model or specification code of the movement for easy identification. Working Principle: State whether the movement is mechanical, quartz, electronic, or another driving method. Use: Clearly state that it is used for vehicle (such as automobile, motorcycle) dashboard or interior timekeeping. Assembled or Not: Declare whether the movement has been fully assembled or is in parts. Power Supply Method: Such as battery-powered, vehicle power supply, etc. Product Name: Vehicle clock movement; Brand: DENSO; Model: CLK-2024; Working Principle: quartz oscillation; Use: automobile dashboard clock; Assembled or Not: assembled; Power Supply Method: vehicle 12V power supply. Misclassifying vehicle clock movements under 9105 (complete vehicle clocks), resulting in overpayment of taxes or false declaration. Ignoring the "vehicle" use and incorrectly classifying under 910990 (other clock movements), affecting regulatory conditions. Failing to distinguish movements from watch movements and misreporting as 9108, causing classification errors.

Core basis for classification: 1. Whether the commodity is a clock movement (not a watch movement); 2. Whether it is specifically used for vehicles; 3. Whether it is assembled or in parts. According to the Import and Export Tariff and its notes, vehicle clock movements conform to the description of heading 9109 and, due to their specific use, are classified under 910910. If they were watch movements, they would be classified under 9108; if they were complete clocks, they would be classified under 9105. 9105 Other clocks: 9105 covers complete clocks, including vehicle clocks, whereas 910910 covers only movements and does not constitute a complete unit. 9108 Complete watch movements, assembled: 9108 specifically refers to watch movements used for wristwatches; vehicle clock movements are used for clocks and are classified under 9109. 910990 Other clock movements: 910990 covers clock movements for other uses; vehicle-specific movements should be classified under 910910. 9114 Other clock or watch parts: 9114 covers clock and watch parts, such as gears and hands; movements are core components and are classified under 9109. Is it a clock movement rather than a watch movement? Is it specifically used for vehicles? Is it assembled? Does it possess the core characteristics of a movement? Does it not constitute a complete clock?

What is the difference in HS codes between vehicle clock movements and ordinary clock movements? Vehicle clock movements are classified under 910910, while ordinary clock movements are classified under 910990. The main difference lies in use: vehicle clock movements are specifically used for vehicles and have particular requirements for dimensions, power supply, and shock resistance, and therefore are given a separate subheading. How can one determine whether a vehicle clock movement should be classified under 9105 (vehicle clocks)? If the commodity has been assembled into a complete clock with a dial, casing, etc., it should be classified under 9105; if it is only a movement without a casing or dial, it is classified under 910910. What key elements must be provided when declaring vehicle clock movements? Product name, brand, model, working principle, use, assembled or not, and power supply method must be provided. Among these, "use" and "assembled or not" are the key factors distinguishing classification. How can the tax rate for vehicle clock movements be checked? It can be checked on the website of the General Administration of Customs of China or by using the Import and Export Tariff. Tax rates may vary due to trade agreements, country of origin, etc., and the latest tariff should be used as the standard. If vehicle clock movements are imported in parts, is the classification different? If the parts already possess the essential characteristics of a movement, they are still classified under 910910; if they are unassembled parts, they may be classified under 9114. Judgment should be made based on the actual state. What are the regulatory conditions for vehicle clock movements? Usually there are no special regulatory conditions, but they must comply with import requirements for mechanical and electrical products. Specific details can be checked in the customs regulatory conditions code table. How should vehicle clock movements sold via cross-border e-commerce be declared? They must be declared according to the actual commodity, with complete elements provided. If they are small parcels sent by direct mail, cross-border e-commerce retail import policies may apply, but attention must be paid to list restrictions.
