Watch straps and bands of base metal, plain or plated
HSN 9113 20 90 (watch straps, bands, and bracelets of base metal — plain or gold- or silver-plated, other than those separately classified) is not covered by a Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order and carries no Partner Government Agency clearance requirement at the tariff-line level. Import follows the standard customs procedure: Importer-Exporter Code, bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other goods within Chapter 91 — including complete watches and clock movements — may attract distinct compliance under specific tariff lines in that chapter.
The principal risk at this tariff line is misclassification: straps or bracelets incorporating precious metal content above the threshold for Chapter 71 (articles of jewellery and precious metal), or components presented as part of a complete watch assembly, may be re-classified by customs to a line that carries compliance or higher duty. Re-classification on examination triggers retrospective duty recovery and potential detention. Verify the material composition, precious-metal content, and presentation format before relying on the absence of compliance at this line.
