Sourcing this category from India
Chapter 91 covers clocks and watches and their parts. India's trade here is modest and largely import-led for movements and components, with some assembly and finished-product exports. The chapter classifies the goods by type — watches, clocks, time-recording apparatus — and separates complete timepieces from movements, cases, dials and other component parts.
How to read this code
91 is the two-digit HS chapter for clocks and watches and parts thereof. To clear customs your destination country extends it to a full 8–10 digit code and assigns the duty rate. India's preferential trade agreements (UAE CEPA, Australia ECTA, and others) can reduce or zero out that duty on many instruments, clocks & musical instruments lines — check our import guides for your market.
