9306.30.41.50 - Other

This HTS category, 9306.30.41.50, encompasses "Other" empty cartridge shells not specifically classified under a preceding subheading. It covers a broad range of empty casings for ammunition that do not fall into the more defined "for rifles or pistols" category. This includes, but is not limited to, empty shells for shotguns, artillery, and other specialized munitions where the specific weapon system is not the primary determinant for classification.

The distinction from the sibling category, 9306.30.41.40, lies in the intended firearm. While 9306.30.41.40 is reserved for empty cartridge shells specifically designed and manufactured for use in rifles or pistols, this "Other" category captures shells for any other type of firearm or ordnance. Therefore, the critical classification factor is the intended application of the empty shell beyond those of common small arms.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions. Classification into this subheading is contingent upon an item being an empty cartridge shell and not fitting the specific criteria of any prior, more granular subheadings within 9306.30.41.
