Analysis
HTS 9305.10.80 covers other: other under heading 9305 (parts and accessories of articles of headings 9301 to 9304).
Rates on the nearby lines range from duty-free to 4.2%. The costliest confusion would be with 9305.10.40 (of revolvers or pistols designed to fire only blank cartridges or…) at 4.2%, a difference of 4.2 points on the customs value.
There is no general-rate duty on this line, which puts it with roughly 62% of the 29 tariff lines in chapter 93 that are also free. Duty-free at the general rate does not rule out additional duties under Chapter 99, such as Section 301 or Section 232 measures, which depend on the country of origin.
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 27.5% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 27.5% duty.
The other lines in the same group are 9305.10.20 (of revolvers or pistols: of heading 9302, 4.2%), 9305.10.40 (of revolvers or pistols designed to fire only blank…, 4.2%) and 9305.10.60 (of muzzle-loading revolvers and pistols, duty-free).
