HS Code 9305.99 – Firearms; parts and accessories, of firearms other than the military weapons of heading 9301
HS code 9305.99 is the 6-digit subheading for firearms, parts and accessories, of firearms other than the military weapons of heading 9301. It is used for parts for antique replica firearms, components for line-throwing guns, signal pistol parts, specialized industrial firearm components and parts for captive-bolt stunners.
What HS 9305.99 covers
HS code 930599 serves as a residual category for parts and accessories of firearms not specifically covered elsewhere in 9305, and crucially, not for military weapons of heading 9301. This 'other' category can include components for antique firearms (not covered by 930510/930520), signal pistols, line-throwing guns, or other specialized industrial or non-lethal firearms. The international trade volume for these specific items is generally lower compared to common handgun or rifle parts, but they are still subject to varying degrees of regulation depending on the specific firearm type they belong to and the national laws of importing and exporting countries. Compliance requires careful identification of the end-use and the specific firearm model to ensure accurate classification and adherence to applicable controls, which can range from minimal to highly restrictive.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. UN Comtrade records Taiwan as "Other Asia, not elsewhere specified". Saudi Arabia's exports under that code are left out: they are far too large to be trade with Taiwan, so mostly undisclosed partners. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
