The rate of duty will be 3.9% on the movement and case plus 5.3% on the battery. The applicable subheading for the foam watch strap will be 9102.12.40, HTS, which provides for straps, bands or bracelets entered with watches of subheading 9102.12.80...other. The rate of duty on the foam strap is 3.9%. This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
