9301

Analysis

Heading 9301 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers military weapons, other than revolvers, pistols and the arms of heading 9307. It divides into 3 six-digit subheadings and 5 eight-digit tariff lines, with 8 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.

3 of its 4 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (75%) and 1 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 2.6%. The median line pays duty-free.

1 of the lines carry specific or compound rates (per kilogram, per dozen and so on) rather than a percentage, so their burden depends on the unit value of the goods.

The largest subheadings are 9301.90 (other, 3 lines), 9301.10 (unnamed, 1 line) and 9301.20 (unnamed, 1 line).

Its median rate of duty-free sits at the 31st percentile of the headings in chapter 93.

By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing (332994) and Military Armored Vehicle, Tank, and Tank Component Manufacturing (336992). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
