Last updated: July 2026 dataBrazil dominates US imports under this heading, with the Czech Republic and Germany also serving as significant sources of centerfire and rimfire cartridges for civilian and law enforcement markets. The US schedule breaks out .22 caliber rifle and pistol cartridges (9306304110), other rifle and pistol cartridges (9306304120), cartridges containing a projectile NESOI (9306304130), cartridges for riveting or similar tools (9306304138), empty shells for rifles or pistols (9306304140), other empty shells (9306304150), cartridges not containing a projectile and not empty (9306304160), and parts of cartridges (9306308000). Importers must comply with Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) import permit requirements, and certain lines may be subject to Section 301 trade measures depending on origin. Correct classification between loaded cartridges, blank cartridges, and empty cases is a frequent audit trigger, as each carries a distinct 10-digit tariff line.

A cartridge not containing a projectile and not empty (9306304160) is charged with propellant or primer but lacks a bullet, which can include blanks and certain signaling rounds. Importers should document the internal composition and intended use clearly in entry documentation, as misclassification between this line and loaded cartridges (9306304120 or 9306304130) is a common CBP audit finding.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) requires an import permit for most commercial ammunition imports. Importers must obtain ATF Form 6 approval before shipment, and the permit must specify the type, caliber, and quantity of cartridges being imported.
