Overview
This HTS subheading specifically covers cartridges designed for use with riveting tools or similar industrial fastening devices, as well as those for captive-bolt humane killing instruments. These are distinct from ammunition intended for firearms, as their primary function is not projectile propulsion for combat or sport. The content of these cartridges typically consists of a powder charge or a self-contained propelling mechanism to drive a rivet, pin, or bolt.
It is important to differentiate these cartridges from other categories within HTS code 9306. Unlike cartridges containing a projectile, the goods classified here are designed to deploy a tool or fastener rather than an independent projectile. Similarly, they are not empty cartridge shells, which are casings intended to be reloaded. The purpose and design for industrial or humane applications are key distinguishing factors.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within this specific subheading relies on confirming that the cartridge is intended for riveting, similar industrial tools, or captive-bolt humane killers. The physical characteristics and the intended application of the cartridge are the primary criteria for correct classification.
