Functional swords, bayonets, and similar arms with their scabbards fall under heading 9307. Purely ornamental wall-display pieces that cannot function as weapons may be reclassified elsewhere depending on their construction and principal use; a binding ruling from CBP is advisable for borderline articles.

In addition to applicable tariff duties, importers should verify whether state or local laws restrict the import or sale of specific edged weapons. Some articles may also require export licenses from the country of origin. Consult a licensed customs broker for country-specific compliance requirements.
