HS Code 9301Military weapons; other than revolvers, pistols and arms of heading no. 9307
3 six-digit codes · Heading 1 of 7 in Chapter 93 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 9301 is the customs code for military weapons such as guns, howitzers, mortars and rocket launchers. It leaves out pistols, revolvers and the blade arms that belong in 9307.
Heading 9301 opens Chapter 93: it is the first of the chapter’s 7 headings, and goods answering to “Military weapons; other than revolvers, pistols and arms of heading no. 9307” divide across 3 six-digit codes, 930110 to 930190. The heading is number 1 of 7 in Chapter 93, Arms and ammunition; parts and accessories thereof, which runs to 18 six-digit codes in all.
Six-digit codes under heading 9301
| HS Code | Import–export description |
|---|---|
| 930110 | Military weapons; artillery weapons (e.g. guns, howitzers, and mortars) |
| 930120 | Military weapons; rocket launchers, flame-throwers, grenade launchers, torpedo tubes and similar projectors |
| 930190 | Military weapons; other than revolvers, pistols, and arms of heading 9307, n.e.c. in heading 9301 |
What HS code 9301 covers
These are weapons built for armed forces, such as large guns, rocket launchers and similar projectors. The code is a tariff classification label. Customs offices use it so the same goods get the same code in every country.
Think of 9301 as the home for heavy military weapons. It is not for handguns. It is also not for the swords, bayonets and lances that sit in 9307. If a weapon is military and does not fit one of those groups, 9301 is the first place to look.
That chapter also holds pistols, sporting guns, parts and ammunition under their own headings.
HS 930110, 930120 and 930190 explained
The heading splits into three six-digit codes. Each one covers a different kind of military weapon.
- These are big weapons that fire shells over a long range.
- These weapons throw or launch a charge instead of firing a normal shell.
- 930190, other military weapons. This is the leftover code.
What 9301 excludes and how to choose the right code
The name of the heading says what it leaves out: revolvers, pistols and arms of heading 9307. Several nearby headings take the goods that do not belong in 9301.
The difference between HS 9301 and 9302 is simple. Heading 9302 is for revolvers and pistols. Heading 9301 is for military weapons that are not those handguns.
Match the goods to the right heading before you pick a six-digit code. Use these steps:
- Is it a revolver or pistol? Go to 9302.
- Is it a sporting shotgun or rifle? Go to 9303. Spring, air or gas guns go to 9304.
- Is it only a part or accessory of a firearm? Go to 9305.
- Is it a bomb, grenade, torpedo, mine, missile or cartridge? Go to 9306.
- Is it a sword, bayonet or lance? Go to 9307.
- If it is a military weapon and none of the above fits, stay in 9301. Pick 930110 for artillery, 930120 for launchers and projectors, and 930190 for the rest.
