Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 930190 when importing or exporting military weapons that do not fall under revolvers, pistols, or the specific arms listed in heading 9307. An example would be a shipment of military rifles or machine guns that are classified as not elsewhere classified (n.e.c.) in heading 9301.
This code applies to various types of military weapons, including those designed for combat or defense, but excludes handguns and specific arms categorized in other headings. For instance, while HS-6 930190 covers automatic rifles, HS-6 930200 would cover revolvers.
When classifying items under this code, consider the intended use and design of the weapon. If you have a military-grade weapon that doesn't fit neatly into more specific categories, HS-6 930190 is likely your best option.
It's important to differentiate between this code and others in the same heading, such as HS-6 930210, which specifically addresses military firearms that are not automatic. Make sure to review the specific characteristics of your items to ensure correct classification.
