U.S. imports of shotgun cartridges (HS 930621) totaled $6.4M in April 2026, traded with 6 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataItaly and Spain are the primary sources of shotgun cartridges entering the US, supplying both premium hunting loads and clay-target competition ammunition favored by sporting shooters. The heading resolves to a single 10-digit line (9306210000) covering complete cartridges and their parts, which means gauge, shot size, and wad material distinctions are commercially significant but do not create separate tariff lines. Ammunition imports are subject to ATF import controls, and certain cartridge configurations — such as armor-piercing or incendiary loads — may be prohibited regardless of their sporting application. France and the United Kingdom are additional European suppliers with established brands in the US clay-shooting market.

Yes. ATF regulates ammunition imports under the Gun Control Act. While most standard lead-shot and steel-shot hunting loads are permissible, cartridges loaded with armor-piercing projectiles or incendiary materials may be prohibited. Importers should verify that the specific load configuration complies with ATF's ammunition import criteria and obtain any required permits before shipment.
Yes — 9306210000 covers both complete shotgun cartridges and parts thereof, including wads, primers, and hulls when imported as components. However, propellant powders and projectiles (shot) are classified under different headings (Chapter 36 for propellants, heading 9306 for projectiles), so mixed shipments of components require careful line-by-line classification to avoid errors.
