HS Code 9107 — Electromechanical Time Switches

Time switches are devices that automatically open or close electrical circuits at preset times. They contain a clock movement or synchronous motor to trigger the switch. They are widely used in home automation for lighting and in industrial settings to control heavy machinery.

What's included

  • Domestic lamp timers
  • Industrial electrical time switches
  • Pool pump timers
  • Programmable mains timers

What's excluded

  • Simple electrical switches → use 8536 (Switches without a clock movement for scheduled operation.)

Common examples

  • 24-hour mechanical plug-in timer
  • DIN rail mounted time switch
  • Digital astronomical time switch

Frequently asked questions

Are smart plugs in 9107?

No, if they are controlled via Wi-Fi/app, they are often classified in 8537 or 8517 depending on primary function.

Trade & shipping notes
