Wristwatch tariff & import duty from China to the USA (2026) — HTS 9102.19.80

not a percentage

HTS code 9102.19.80 · Wristwatch · origin China · data as of 2026-11-02

A shipment of wristwatch entering the United States from China is classified under HTS code 9102.19.80. The duty on this line is charged by weight or quantity rather than as a percentage of value. The layers that make up the charge are listed below. Because the charge follows quantity, the amount owed depends on how much you import rather than on what you paid; freight, insurance, brokerage and any merchandise processing fee come on top of it.

Column 1 rate "57¢ each + 4.5% on the case + 2.1% on the strap, band or bracelet + 4% on the battery" is a specific or compound duty; its ad valorem equivalent depends on quantity and unit value, so the total below counts only the additional duties.

This tariff line is charged by weight or by piece, so there is no single percentage of the value. The calculator is switched off on this page.
