HS Code 9307Arms; swords, cutlasses, bayonets, lances and the like, parts thereof and scabbards and sheaths therefor

What HS code 9307 covers

Think of this heading as the home for edged weapons. The words "and the like" stretch it to similar blades made for the same purpose.

It also takes in the parts of those weapons. A blade, a hilt or a guard sold on its own can still fall here. Scabbards and sheaths are named too, so the case that holds a sword or bayonet is classed with the weapon itself.

Everything above is gathered under one code, 930700. If your goods are an edged weapon, a part of one or its sheath, this is the code to check first. The HS code classifier can help you test a product description before you file.

HS 9307 code structure: Section XIX to 930700

The Harmonized System sorts goods like a tree. The top level is the section. Section XIX is Arms and Ammunition, and it holds only Chapter 93. The chapter is the next level down. It groups every kind of arm and its ammunition, parts and accessories.

Inside the chapter, each four-digit heading narrows the field. Heading 9307 is the edged-weapons heading. The last step is the six-digit code, which is the level that customs records most often use to compare trade between countries.

Here the path is short: Section XIX, then Chapter 93, then heading 9307, then 930700. There is no further split at six digits. Each country may add its own national detail and set its own duty, so confirm local rules with your customs broker.

9307 vs other Chapter 93 headings

Most mix-ups in this chapter come from picking a heading by habit. Check what the goods are and then match them to the wording below. Two of the neighbouring headings say outright that they leave out the arms of 9307.

• 9302: revolvers and pistols, other than those of headings 9303 or 9304.
• 9303: other firearms and similar devices, such as sporting shotguns and rifles, muzzle-loading firearms and line throwing guns.
• 9304: other arms such as spring, air or gas guns and pistols, and truncheons, excluding those of heading 9307.
• 9305: parts and accessories of articles in headings 9301 to 9304. Note that parts of 9307 arms stay in 9307.
