Spring-powered, pneumatic, and gas-powered guns — including airsoft and paintball markers — are the commercial core of this heading, and China is by far the dominant supplier, with Taiwan and Mexico also contributing meaningfully. The four 10-digit lines separate air/gas rifles (9304002000), other projectile-ejecting pistols and guns (9304004000), and a broad residual category (9304006000), enabling CBP to apply distinct treatment to paintball markers versus higher-powered air rifles. Importers should be aware that high-powered air rifles capable of generating muzzle energy above certain thresholds may be regulated by ATF as firearms, even though they do not use combustion propellants. Section 301 tariffs apply to goods of Chinese origin in this category.

Frequently Asked Questions

At what point does an air rifle become subject to ATF regulation rather than ordinary CBP import procedures?

ATF has determined that air guns with a muzzle velocity exceeding approximately 400 feet per second using a .18-caliber or larger projectile may qualify as 'firearms' under the Gun Control Act if they expel a projectile by the action of an explosive. True pneumatic and spring guns generally fall outside ATF jurisdiction, but borderline cases — particularly high-powered pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) rifles — should be submitted to ATF for a classification ruling before importation.

Do Section 301 tariffs apply to air guns and paintball markers imported from China?

Yes. Goods of Chinese origin classified under heading 9304 are subject to Section 301 tariffs in addition to the base MFN duty rate. Importers sourcing from China should account for this additional cost and verify the current applicable list and rate with a licensed customs broker, as Section 301 coverage and rates are subject to ongoing review.
