Products classified under HTS 9114.40.40.00
Anniversary Clock 400-Day Movement Plate
Special torsion suspension plate for 400-day anniversary clock movements, supporting year-long power reserve system. Under HTS 9114.40.40.00 as precisely engineered clock assembly plate for continuous operation wedding gift clocks. Minimal friction design essential.
Brass Clock Movement Base Plate
A precision-machined brass plate designed as the foundational component for assembling mechanical clock movements, featuring pre-drilled holes for gears and jewels. It falls under HTS 9114.40.40.00 as it is specifically a plate suitable for assembling a clock movement, distinct from watch plates which have size restrictions. These plates provide structural support and alignment for the escapement, balance wheel, and other timekeeping components.
Steel Clock Movement Pillar Plate Set
A matched set of two steel plates (pillar plate and bridge) with integrated pillars for vertical spacing, engineered for grandfather clock movement assembly. Classified under HTS 9114.40.40.00 as a 'set of plates' expressly suitable for clock movement construction, supporting multi-level gear trains. Exceeds watch size limits, distinguishing it from smaller watch components.
Aluminum Wall Clock Bridge Plate
Lightweight aluminum upper bridge plate for wall clock movements, with jewel bearings and gear pivot holes for balance wheel assembly. HTS 9114.40.40.00 applies as a specialized plate for clock movements larger than watch specifications. Provides precise alignment for oscillating components in domestic wall clocks.
Cuckoo Clock Movement Mainplate
Ornately machined mainplate for traditional cuckoo clock movements, featuring slots for bellows linkage and strike train assembly. Falls under HTS 9114.40.40.00 as a plate designed exclusively for clock movement assembly, accommodating larger Bavarian clock dimensions. Supports mechanical bird call and hour-strike mechanisms.
Grandfather Clock Regulator Plate
Heavy-duty brass regulator plate for longcase grandfather clocks, supporting the deadbeat escapement and seconds pendulum arbor. Classified HTS 9114.40.40.00 for its role as a primary assembly plate in oversized clock movements exceeding 50mm width. Ensures precision timekeeping in tall floor clocks.
Quartz Clock Movement Chassis Plate
Stamped stainless steel chassis plate serving as the base for quartz clock movements, with mounts for stepper motor and crystal oscillator. HTS 9114.40.40.00 covers it as a plate suitable for clock assembly despite quartz regulation, per broad chapter definition of time-determining systems. Used in modern desk and wall clocks.
Alarm Clock Dial Plate Assembly Base
Die-cast zinc base plate combining dial mounting and movement assembly functions for wind-up alarm clocks. Under HTS 9114.40.40.00 as a specialized multi-function plate for clock movements with integrated alarm trains. Supports hands, bell hammer, and winding arbors in bedside models.
Mantel Clock Movement Bridge Set
Precision-milled three-piece bridge set (train, balance, escapement bridges) for mantel clock movements, ensuring gear train stability. HTS 9114.40.40.00 classifies as 'set of plates' suitable for clock assembly, sized for decorative shelf clocks over watch dimensions. Critical for anchor escapement alignment.
Pendulum Clock Bottom Plate
Reinforced bottom plate for pendulum-regulated clock movements, with suspension spring and weight arbor mounts. Falls under HTS 9114.40.40.00 as essential assembly plate for gravity-driven timekeepers like regulator clocks. Accommodates heavy bob pendulum systems.
Torsion Pendulum Clock Plate
Specialized single-piece plate for torsion pendulum clocks like anniversary clocks, integrating suspension post and balance platform. HTS 9114.40.40.00 applies for its unique assembly suitability in continuous 400-day movements. Minimalist design for 1-year power reserve.
Strike Clock Train Bridge Plate
Dedicated bridge plate for the striking train in chiming clocks, supporting hammer arbors and cam followers. Under HTS 9114.40.40.00 as clock movement assembly plate for musical strike mechanisms in Westminster and Whittington clocks. Ensures synchronized hour/quarter chimes.
Battery Desk Clock Movement Plate
Compact injection-molded plate for battery-powered desk clock movements, mounting quartz module and alarm buzzer. HTS 9114.40.40.00 despite plastic construction, as chapter covers clock assembly plates via note 1(c) exception for specialized parts. Common in office novelty clocks.
Carriage Clock Movement Baseplate
Jeweled brass baseplate for French carriage clocks, with Geneva striping and lever escapement mounts. Classified HTS 9114.40.40.00 for portable clock assembly exceeding watch size parameters. Iconic for travel clocks with repeater functions.
Ship's Clock Bulkhead Mounting Plate
