Last updated: April 2026 dataThe 'Other Military Equipment' import end-use category captures a broad range of defense-related goods entering the United States that do not fall under the more specific military aircraft grouping, including ground combat vehicles, naval equipment, weapons systems components, and associated support equipment. ATF's US Munitions Import List governs admissibility for many articles in this space, and importers must secure the appropriate permits before shipment. Items that are dual-use in nature may instead be subject to EAR controls, requiring careful classification analysis to determine the correct regulatory pathway.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) administers the US Munitions Import List and issues import permits for controlled defense articles. Importers must apply for and receive an ATF Form 6 import permit before the goods are shipped. CBP enforces these requirements at the port of entry.
Articles specifically designed or configured for military combat or defense applications and listed on the US Munitions Import List are treated as military equipment subject to ATF permitting. Dual-use goods — those with both commercial and potential military applications — are instead governed by the Export Administration Regulations on the export side, but their import is generally not subject to the same permit requirements unless they also appear on the USMIL. A formal commodity jurisdiction determination may be needed for borderline items.
