Analysis
HTS 9305.91.10 covers of military weapons of heading 9301: of rifles under heading 9305 (parts and accessories of articles of headings 9301 to 9304).
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 55% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 55% duty.
Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 62% of the 29 tariff lines in chapter 93. 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.
The other lines in the same group are 9305.91.20 (of military weapons of heading 9301: of shotguns, duty-free) and 9305.91.30 (of military weapons of heading 9301: other, duty-free).
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 332994 (Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing), an industry of 523 US establishments employing 25,999 people. That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
