U.S. imports of sporting, hunting & target-shooting rifles (non-muzzle-loading) (HS 930330) totaled $16.7M in July 2026, traded with 28 countries.
Importers of Sporting, Hunting & Target-Shooting Rifles (Non-Muzzle-Loading) paid $1.9M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 13% on $14.3M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataFinland and Japan are the leading sources of sporting and hunting rifles entering the US market, supplying precision bolt-action and rimfire designs favored by competitive shooters and hunters alike. The heading's thirteen 10-digit tariff lines segment rifles by ignition type (rimfire vs. centerfire), action (bolt-action, autoloading, single-shot), unit value thresholds, and whether a telescopic sight is imported with the firearm — a structurally unusual feature that affects both classification and valuation. Centerfire autoloading rifles (9303307010) warrant particular attention because ATF sporting-purpose criteria can restrict importation of certain configurations regardless of their commercial classification. All imports require an ATF Form 6 permit before goods are released by CBP.

Line 9303308005 captures telescopic sights imported together with rifles valued over $50 each, reflecting the principle that accessories imported with an article can be classified with it under GRI 3(b) as a set. Importers who separate sights from rifles in their shipments may find the optics classified independently under Chapter 90, potentially at a different duty rate.
Under the Gun Control Act, ATF evaluates whether a centerfire semi-automatic rifle is 'particularly suitable for or readily adaptable to sporting purposes.' Rifles with certain military-style features — such as folding stocks, large-capacity magazines, or pistol grips — may be denied import even if they otherwise meet the HTS classification criteria. Importers should obtain an ATF ruling or consult a licensed customs broker before shipping.
