Frequently asked questions
What does customs tariff code 91 cover?
Code 91 covers CLOCKS AND WATCHES AND PARTS THEREOF. Classification turns on the material, function, and intended use of the goods, not on their trade name.
What is the duty rate for 91?

How many digits does 91 have?
91 has two digits and identifies a Harmonised System chapter. A German import declaration requires the eleven-digit commodity code.
Is there binding tariff information for 91?

What happens if the customs tariff code is wrong?
An incorrect code leads to post-clearance recovery of duty and import VAT, delays at clearance, and a penalty where it repeats. A classification with documented reasoning can be defended in an audit.
Does customs tariff code 91 change?
91 is currently valid. The Combined Nomenclature is amended every 1 January, so master data should be checked against the current tariff annually.
