Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If integrated with automatic data processing input/output
Combination time clocks with ADP capabilities move to Chapter 84 input/output units.
If for industrial process timing without clock/watch movement
Pure interval measuring devices without specified movements classify as other instruments.
If exceeding size limits for watch/clock movements per chapter note
Larger synchronous motors classify separately from assembled time apparatus.
