Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 9307 when importing or exporting arms such as swords, cutlasses, bayonets, and lances, along with their parts and protective sheaths. For example, if you're shipping a collection of antique swords, this code will apply.

When deciding between subheadings, consider the specific type of item. The single HS-6 line under this heading includes all arms and their parts, so if you’re dealing with a bayonet versus a sword, the classification remains the same.

If your shipment includes scabbards or sheaths, they also fall under HS-4 9307. However, ensure that your documentation clearly specifies whether these items are part of a larger weapon system or standalone products.

Be aware that while this heading encompasses various arms and accessories, customs authorities may require additional documentation or permits for certain items, especially if they are classified as controlled goods.
