With strap, band or bracelet of textile material or of base metal, whether or not gold-or silver-plated

HTS code 9102.19.60 classifies imports of: With strap, band or bracelet of textile material or of base metal, whether or not gold-or silver-plated. This line sits within Chapter 91 (Wrist watches, pocket watches and other watches, including stop watches, with case of precious metal or of metal clad with precious metal:), Section XVIII (Optical, Photographic, Measuring, Medical Instruments), and is catalogued as a tariff line in the USITC 2026 Basic Edition. The schedule specifies ad valorem (percentage-of-value) duty for this line. Getting the classification right is the single most important step in import compliance — a wrong code can mean overpayment of duty, shipment delays, or penalties at the border.

The general (MFN / Column 1 General) rate for HTS 9102.19.60 is 57¢ each + 4.5% on the case + 10.6% on the strap, band or bracelet + 4% on the battery, which applies to most trading partners of the United States. A special preferential rate of "Free (AU,BH, CL,CO,D,E,IL,JO,KR,MA, OM,P,PA,PE, R,S,SG)" may reduce or eliminate duty when goods qualify under a free trade agreement such as USMCA, CAFTA-DR, or one of the bilateral FTAs. The Column 2 rate of $2.70 each + 45% on the case + 110% on the strap, band or bracelet + 35% on the battery applies to imports from non-MFN countries such as Cuba and North Korea — a much higher historical "full" tariff.
