Last updated: April 2026 dataMuzzle-loading firearms — including flintlock, percussion cap, and inline designs loaded from the muzzle rather than breech — are classified under a single 10-digit line (9303100000). Spain and Italy are the leading US suppliers, reflecting their established industries producing both replica antique and modern inline muzzleloaders. ATF treats antique firearms (generally those manufactured before 1899 or their replicas using fixed ammunition) differently from modern muzzleloaders, so importers must confirm the applicable regulatory category before filing entry.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Replica antique muzzle-loading firearms that use black powder and do not fire fixed ammunition are generally exempt from ATF Form 6 import permit requirements and are not classified as 'firearms' under the Gun Control Act. However, they still classify under HTS 9303100000, and importers should confirm the specific article's regulatory status with ATF before importation.
Both inline and traditional muzzle-loading designs load from the muzzle and classify under 9303100000 regardless of ignition system (flintlock, percussion cap, or inline primer). The HTS does not subdivide by ignition mechanism. The regulatory distinction that matters most is whether the firearm uses fixed ammunition, which affects ATF admissibility rather than tariff classification.
