Product classification
HS code for Rifle stock: 9305.20
Firearms, parts and accessories, of shotguns or rifles of heading 9303.
Classification of rifle stock under HS 9305.20
The classification of a rifle stock falls under HS code 9305.20. Chapter 93 of the Harmonized System covers arms and ammunition, and heading 9305 is specifically reserved for parts and accessories of articles falling under headings 9301 to 9304. Heading 9303 includes sporting, hunting, or target-shooting shotguns and rifles. Therefore, any dedicated component of these firearms, such as a stock, is classified under 9305.20. The stock is considered an essential structural part of the firearm, providing the interface between the shooter and the mechanical components of the rifle. Under GRI 1, classification is determined by the legal text of the headings. Since 9305.20 explicitly mentions parts and accessories of shotguns or rifles of heading 9303, the rifle stock is accurately placed here. This applies regardless of the material of construction, whether it be traditional wood, modern polymers, or lightweight alloys, provided the item is identifiable as a part for a 9303 rifle. The classification remains consistent for both finished stocks and semi-finished blanks that have been shaped to the point of being recognizable as a firearm part.

Codes often confused with 9305.20
Common mistake. Rifle stocks are sometimes misclassified based on their material. For example, wooden stocks might be incorrectly placed in 4421 (other articles of wood) or plastic stocks in 3926 (other articles of plastics). However, Chapter 93 notes dictate that parts of arms are classified in 9305. Another common error is using 9305.10, which is reserved for parts of revolvers or pistols, or 9305.91, which covers parts of military weapons under heading 9301.

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).
