9301.10.00.80 - Other

This HTS category, 9301.10.00.80, encompasses "Other" artillery weapons that do not fall under the self-propelled classification. It pertains to artillery pieces such as guns, howitzers, and mortars designed for military use, which are not integrated into a self-propelled chassis. The classification focuses on the fundamental nature of the weapon as a piece of artillery, irrespective of its mobility or mounting.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 9301.10.00.10 (Self propelled), is crucial. The latter specifically covers artillery weapons that are mounted on and propelled by their own integrated vehicle or chassis, functioning as a single mobile unit. Category 9301.10.00.80, therefore, applies to towed artillery, static emplacements, or those requiring separate means of transport.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. The primary classification criterion for this code is the exclusion from the self-propelled category, with the defining characteristics being the weapon's function as an artillery piece and its lack of integrated propulsion. Examples would include towed field guns, naval guns not mounted on self-propelled vessels, and mortars that are transported and deployed separately.
