HS Code 9112Clock cases and cases of a similar type for other goods of this chapter and parts thereof
2 six-digit codes · Heading 12 of 14 in Chapter 91 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
Some tax tools call it HSN code 9112, and the meaning is the same.
Heading 9112 splits exactly two ways. Goods answering to “Clock cases and cases of a similar type for other goods of this chapter and parts thereof” classify either at 911220 or at 911290, and the wording in the table below is the whole of what separates them. The heading is number 12 of 14 in Chapter 91, Clocks and watches and parts thereof, which runs to 48 six-digit codes in all.
What HS code 9112 covers
A clock case is the outer shell that holds and protects a clock. This heading takes those shells. It also takes cases made for other goods in Chapter 91, the clocks and watches chapter. Pieces made for such cases are included too.
Some tariff tools write the same heading as HTS code 9112. The first four digits are the same in every country. A country may add more digits after them for its own tariff. When you read a customs record, start with those first digits to find the heading.
Watch cases are the big exception. They sit in a neighbouring heading, and the sections below show which one. Read them before you fix a code on an invoice or a shipping document.
911220 vs 911290: cases or parts of cases
Ask one simple question. Is the item a whole case, or only a piece of one?
Customs officers look at the goods as they arrive. A case that comes as one finished unit belongs in the first code. A box of loose pieces made to go with a case belongs in the second. Neither code is meant for a case built for a watch.
- 911220: the finished case for a clock, or a similar case for other Chapter 91 goods.
- 911290: separate pieces made for those cases, sold on their own.
9112 vs 9111 and 9114: choosing the right heading
Most mistakes come from look-alike headings. Decide what the item is made for, then decide what it is. Use the list below as a quick guide.
A short test also helps. A case holds the mechanism from the outside. A movement is the mechanism itself. A part is a small piece that is neither of these.
The wording of both subheadings above rules out watch cases. So if the item is not clearly a clock case, check these neighbours before you settle on a code. The HS code classifier can help you compare the options.
- A case made for a watch, or a piece of one: heading 9111.
- A strap, band or bracelet: heading 9113.
- A clock or watch part that is not named anywhere else in the chapter: heading 9114.
- A working clock movement: heading 9109, not a case heading.
