9305.10.60.00 - Of muzzle-loading revolvers and pistols

This HTS classification, 9305.10.60.00, specifically covers parts and accessories for muzzle-loading revolvers and pistols. Muzzle-loading firearms are those that are loaded from the muzzle (the front end of the barrel) rather than the breech. This category would therefore encompass components such as barrels, cylinders, frames, grips, and internal mechanisms that are exclusively designed for, or are identifiable as being for, such historical or specialized firearm types.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 9305.10.40.00, which pertains to parts and accessories for revolvers or pistols designed to fire only blank cartridges or blank ammunition. While both relate to revolvers and pistols, 9305.10.60.00 focuses on the operational mechanism of muzzle-loading, whereas 9305.10.40.00 addresses firearms intended for non-lethal purposes like training or signaling. It also differs from the "Other" sibling category (9305.10.80.00) by providing a more precise designation for muzzle-loading specific parts.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories for this specific item. Classification under 9305.10.60.00 is final for these particular parts and accessories. Importers and exporters should ensure that the components being classified are indeed intended for muzzle-loading revolvers and pistols, based on their design and intended use, to ensure accurate customs declarations.
