Subpart E-Watches, Clocks, and Timing Apparatus
Subpart E headnotes:

1. This subpart covers watches and clocks, time
switches and other timing apparatus with clock or
watch movements, and parts of these articles. This sub-
part, however, does not cover-

(1) synchronous or subsynchronous motors (see part 5 of schedule 6);

(ii) screws, nuts, and bolts (see part 3D of schedule 6);

(iii) music boxes and their mechanisms (see part 3 of schedule 7);

(iv) combination articles provided for elsewhere in the tariff schedules; or

(v) clock and watch glasses and glass domes (see part 3 of schedule 5).

2. For the purposes of this subpart

(a) the term "watches" embraces timepieces (including timepieces having special features, such as chronographs, calendar watches, stopwatches, and watches designed for use in skindiving) suitable for wearing or carrying on or about the person, whether or not the movement therein is within the definition of "watch movement" in headnote 2(b), below; (b) the term "watch movement" means a timepiece movement measuring less than 1.77 inches in width and less than 0.50 inch in thickness;

(c) the term "clock movement" means any movement or mechanism, other than "watch movements" as defined in headnote 2(b), above, intended or suitable for measuring time;

(d) the term "cases" embraces inner and outer cases, containers, and housings for movements, together with parts or pieces, such as, but not limited to, rings, feet, posts, bases, and outer frames, and any auxiliary or incidental features, which (with appropriate movements) serve to complete the watches, clocks, time switches, and other apparatus provided for in this subpart; and

(e) the term "jewels" includes substitutes for jewels.

3. (a) In this subpart, column 1 of the Rates of Duty columns with respect to watch movements having not over 7 jewels has been divided into two columns, viz, 1-a and 1-b. The rates of duty in columns 1-a apply to watch movements which have 7 jewels or which, if having less than 7 jewels, do not have a bushing or its equivalent (other than a substitute for a jewel) in any position customarily occupied by a jewel. The rates of duty in column 1-b apply to watch movements having under 7 jewels and having a bushing or its equivalent (other than a substitute for a jewel) in any position customarily occupied by a jewel.

(b) The complete citation for watches covered by item 715.05 and clocks covered by item 715.15 shall be each of such item numbers, followed by the appropriate item numbers for the respective movements and cases comprising such watches or clocks. Thus, item 715.05716.08-720.20 is the correct citation for a watch in a gold case having over 17 jewels.

(c) In this subpart, each of the rates of duty provided for watch movements, having no jewels or not over 17 jewels, not adjusted, not self-winding, and not constructed or designed to operate for a period in excess of 47 hours without rewinding (items 716.10 through 716.36, inclusive) is also the "base rate" for watch movements having the same width and number of jewels covered by items 717.-, 718.-, and 719.-. For citation purposes, the two blanks on the end of each of the latter item numbers shall be filled in with the last two digits of the item number for the applicable base rate. Thus, "Item 717.31" would be citation for an adjusted watch movement, 0.7 inch wide, having 17 jewels, but not selfwinding and not constructed or designed to operate for a period in excess of 47 hours without rewinding.

Subpart E headnotes-Continued

(d) The width of a watch or clock movement, as defined in headnote 2(b) and (c) of this subpart, is the shortest surface dimension through the center of the pillar or bottom plate, or its equivalent, not including in the measurement any portion not essential to the functioning of the movement; and the thickness of a "watch movement", as so defined, is the maximum thickness between the outside surfaces of the plate and bridges, or their equivalents.

(e) The additional duty for adjustments to watch movements applies to each adjustment of whatever kind (treating adjustment to temperature as two adjustments), in accordance with the marking as hereinafter provided for.

(f) Bimetallic balance wheels which are not part of
balance assemblies, and mainsprings with riveted ends,
are each to be considered as one part or piece, for the
purposes of assessing duties on assemblies and subas-
semblies provided for in items 720.75, 720.80, 720.82,
720.84, and 720.86.

4. Special marking requirements: Any movement,
case, or dial provided for in this subpart, whether im-
ported separately or attached to an article provided for
in this subpart, shall not be permitted to be entered
unless conspicuously and indelibly marked by cutting,
die-sinking, engraving, or stamping, as specified below:
(a) Watch movements shall be marked on one or
more of the bridges or top plates to show-

(1) the name of the country of manufacture,
(ii) the name of the manufacturer or purchas-
er.

(iii) in Arabic numerals and in words, the
number of jewels, if any, serving a mechanical
purpose as frictional bearings; and

(iv) in Arabic numerals and in words, the number and classes of adjustments, or, if unadjusted, the word "unadjusted".

(b) Clock movements shall be marked on the most
visible part of the front or back plate to show-

(i) the name of the country of manufacture,
(ii) the name of the manufacturer or purchas-
er, and

(iii) the number of jewels, if any.

(c) Watch cases shall be marked on the inside or outside of the back cover to show

(1) the name of the country of manufacture, and

er.

(ii) the name of the manufacturer or purchas

(d) Clock cases and other cases provided for in this subpart shall be marked on the most visible part of the outside of the back to show the name of the country of manufacture; and

(e) Dials shall be marked to show the name of the country of manufacture, which marking, if the dial is imported attached to any of the articles provided for in this part, shall be placed on the face of the dial in such manner as not to be obscured by any part of the case.

5. Combination articles containing watch or clock movements.-A watch or clock movement (and its dial, if any) in a combination article is classifiable under the provision applicable to such combination article, but, in determining the duties on the combination article, the movement (and its dial, if any) shall be constructively separated therefrom and assessed with the same rate as would have applied if it had been imported separately. In such circumstances, the movement and its dial shall also be subject to the same marking requirements provided for in headnote 4 of this subpart. However, such separate assessment and special marking shall not be applicable to movements which, when imported, are installed as the usual equipment of vehicles or craft provided for in part 6 of schedule 6 or as integral and essential parts of laboratory, industrial, or commercial apparatus or equipment.

6. Products of Insular Possessions.-(a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this headnote, any article provided for in this subpart which is the product of an insular possession of the United States outside the customs territory of the United States and which contains any foreign component shall be subject to duty

(1) at the rates set forth in column numbered 1, if the countries of origin of more than 50 percent in value of the foreign components are countries to products of which column numbered 1 rates apply, and

(ii) at the rates set forth in column numbered 2, if the countries of origin of 50 percent or more in value of the foreign components are countries to products of which column numbered 2 rates apply. (b) If the requirements for free entry set forth in general headnote 3(a) are complied with, watches (provided for in item 715.05) and watch movements (provided for in items 716.08 through 719.-) which are the product of the Virgin Islands, Guam, or American Samoa and which contain any foreign component may be admitted free of duty, but the total quantity of such articles entered free of duty during each calendar year shall not exceed a number equal to % of the apparent United States consumption of watch movements during the preceding calendar year (as determined by the Tariff Commission), of which total quantity

(1) not to exceed 87.5 percent shall be the product of the Virgin Islands,

(ii) not to exceed 8.33 percent shall be the product of Guam, and

(iii) not to exceed 4.17 percent shall be the product of American Samoa.

(c) on or before April 1 of each calendar year (beginning with 1967), the Tariff Commission shall determine the apparent United States consumption of watch movements during the preceding calendar year, shall report such determination to the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of the Interior, and Secretary of Commerce, and shall publish such determination in the Federal Register, together with the number of watches and watch movements which are the product of the Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa which may be entered free of duty under paragraph (b) during the calendar year.

(d) The Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Commerce, acting jointly, shall allocate on a fair and equitable basis among producers of watches and watch movements located in the Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa the quotas for each calendar year provided by paragraph (b) for articles which are the product of the Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa, respectively. Allocations made by the Secretaries shall be final. The Secretaries are authorized to issue such regulations as they determine necessary to carry out their duties under this paragraph.
