Common questions
What is HS code 9303?
9303 is the HS 2022 heading for Firearms; other similar devices (e.g. sporting shotguns and rifles, muzzle-loading firearms, very pistols, devices for firing flares or blank ammunition, captive bolt humane killers, line throwing guns). It is in chapter 93 (Arms and ammunition; parts and accessories thereof), section XIX, and has 4 six-digit subheadings, from 9303.10 to 9303.90.
Can I write 9303 on a commercial invoice?
Customs usually need at least the 6-digit subheading (for example 9303.10), and the import declaration uses the destination country’s full code of 8 to 10 digits. Use the subheading that matches your product, and confirm the national digits with the buyer, the customs broker or the official tariff.
