9305.10.40.00 - Of revolvers or pistols designed to fire only blank cartridges or blank ammunition

This HTS category, 9305.10.40.00, specifically classifies parts and accessories intended for revolvers or pistols that are designed to fire *only* blank cartridges or blank ammunition. This distinction is crucial, as it differentiates these items from parts for firearms capable of firing live ammunition or those that have been modified to do so. The focus is on accessories and components specifically manufactured for or compatible with these non-lethal firing devices.

To understand its placement, consider its siblings. Unlike 9305.10.60.00, which pertains to parts and accessories for muzzle-loading revolvers and pistols (which typically fire live ammunition), this category is exclusively for blank-firing models. Furthermore, it is distinct from the general "Other" category at this level, 9305.10.80.00, by its specific functional limitation to blank ammunition.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification concludes at this point. Practical classification relies on verifying that the part or accessory is designed and intended for a revolver or pistol that *cannot* chamber or fire live ammunition, and is instead solely equipped for the use of blank cartridges for purposes such as training, signaling, or theatrical effects.
