9303.30.80.17 - Other

This HTS category, 9303.30.80.17, specifically covers "Other" bolt-action rifles that are designed for centerfire ammunition and fall within the broader classification of sporting, hunting, or target-shooting rifles. These firearms are distinct from single-shot bolt-action rifles, which are classified under a separate sibling category. The defining characteristic of this group is that they are not single-shot in design, implying they are capable of firing multiple rounds without manual reloading after each shot, while still maintaining the bolt-action mechanism.

The "Other" designation indicates that these bolt-action rifles are not specifically enumerated in any more granular subcategories within this HTS structure. Therefore, classification here is determined by their exclusion from more specific headings and their positive inclusion in the broader categories of centerfire bolt-action sporting rifles. Practical classification relies on verifying that the firearm is a bolt-action rifle, utilizes centerfire ammunition, and is intended for sporting, hunting, or target-shooting purposes, and is not a single-shot variant.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories that subdivide this specific classification. Therefore, all items meeting the criteria of being a centerfire, bolt-action rifle intended for sporting, hunting, or target-shooting, and not being a single-shot model, will fall under this "Other" designation. The focus remains on the fundamental mechanical operation (bolt-action), ammunition type (centerfire), and intended use.
