About HTS 9104.00.45
HTS code 9104.00.45 classifies imports of: With opto-electronic display only. 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 9104.00.45 is 2.6% on the movement and case + 3.5% on the battery, which applies to most trading partners of the United States. A special preferential rate of "Free (A+,AU,B,BH, C,CL,CO,D, E,IL,JO,KR, MA,OM,P, PA,PE,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 35% applies to imports from non-MFN countries such as Cuba and North Korea — a much higher historical "full" tariff.
