Revolvers and pistols, other than those of heading no. 9303 or 9304.
Classification of revolvers under HS 9302.00
Revolvers are classified under HS code 9302.00. This code specifically covers revolvers and pistols that function through the discharge of an explosive charge, excluding those categorized as muzzle-loading firearms or those powered by air, gas, or springs. A revolver is defined by its rotating cylinder containing multiple chambers, which allows for multiple shots to be fired without manual reloading between each discharge. The classification is straightforward under Chapter 93, which governs arms and ammunition. According to the Explanatory Notes to the Harmonized System, this heading includes all types of revolvers regardless of their caliber or intended use, whether for military, police, or civilian self-defense. It is important to note that for a firearm to be classified here, it must be a complete or substantially complete functional unit. Parts and accessories are instead classified under heading 9305. The classification 9302.00 is a primary category for short-barreled firearms. It is distinct from 9303, which covers other firearms like shotguns and rifles, and 9304, which covers non-powder arms. When importing or exporting items under 9302.00, traders must be aware of the stringent licensing requirements that accompany Chapter 93 goods. Even if a revolver is rendered permanently inoperable, it may still be classified here depending on national customs rulings regarding deactivation standards.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. 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. 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).
