9306.30.41

Analysis

HTS 9306.30.41 covers cartridges and empty cartridge shells under heading 9306 (bombs, grenades, torpedoes, mines, missiles and similar munitions of war and parts…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 7 ten-digit suffixes, reported in number of items.

This line's footnotes point to one additional provision in Chapter 99: 9903.90.08 (measures on products of Russia). Chapter 99 duties are added on top of the general rate for goods of the countries they name, and they change more often than the rest of the schedule, so check the current CBP guidance before you rely on a total.

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.

Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 30% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 30% duty.

The ten-digit suffixes separate .22 caliber, cartridges for riveting or similar… and for rifles or pistols. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.
