HS code for Wristwatch, quartz, stainless steel case
HS 2022Destination FRConfidence 0.68Reviewed by a second modelWristwatches, pocket-watches and other watches, including stopwatches, other than those of heading 9101 > Wristwatches, electrically operated, whether or not incorporating a stopwatch facility > With mechanical display only
Section XVIII: Optical, photographic, cinematographic, measuring, checking, precision, medical or surgical instruments and apparatus; clocks and watches; musical instruments; parts and accessories thereof · Chapter 91: Clocks and watches and parts thereof · Heading 9102: Wristwatches, pocket-watches and other watches, including stopwatches, other than those of heading 9101
Why this code
A stainless steel case is base metal, not precious metal, so Chapter 91 Note 2 excludes heading 9101; the watch falls in heading 9102. A quartz movement is electrically operated, which places it under 9102.1x. The display type is not stated. Plain 'quartz, stainless steel case' wristwatches are most commonly analogue (hands), which is mechanical display only: 910211. If the display is purely digital LCD the code is 910212; if analogue combined with digital, 910219. Headings 9108 and 9109 cover movements only, and 9103 covers clocks, so none of them fits a complete wristwatch.
Rules applied: GRI 1, Chapter 91 Note 2, GRI 6.

Information that would confirm the code
- Is the display analogue hands only, digital LCD/LED only, or a combination of analogue and digital?
- Is any part of the case plated or clad with precious metal?
