Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 930200 when importing or exporting revolvers and pistols that do not fall under headings 9303 or 9304. For example, a shipment of a revolver designed for sporting use would be classified here.

This HS-6 code specifically covers revolvers and pistols, distinguishing them from other firearm types like rifles or shotguns, which are classified under different headings. If you have a shipment of a semi-automatic pistol, you would need to consider this code carefully.
