Springs, including hair-springs
Clock and watch springs, including hair-springs
HSN 9114 90 40 (clock and watch springs, including hair-springs) 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 parts classified within Chapter 91 — such as complete clock or watch movements, or escapement components — may attract distinct classification treatment, and product description accuracy is the principal importer risk.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line applies specifically to unassembled springs and hair-springs traded as clock or watch parts; springs incorporated into finished timepieces or sub-assemblies may be classified under a different heading within Chapter 91 with different duty implications. Customs re-classification on examination — for example, to a complete movement or finished watch heading — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Confirm that the product is presented as a discrete clock or watch part, not as a component of a larger assembly, before relying on this tariff line.
