U.S. imports of swords, cutlasses, bayonets, lances, and similar arms; parts and scabbards (HS 930700) totaled $1.1M in April 2026, traded with 20 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataEdged military arms — swords, cutlasses, bayonets, lances, and similar bladed weapons along with their scabbards, sheaths, and parts — are consolidated into a single 10-digit tariff line (9307000000) with no further US schedule subdivision. China is the leading supplier to the US market, with Germany and India also notable sources, spanning a range from decorative and ceremonial pieces to functional military-pattern blades. Importers should be aware that certain bayonets and combat knives may trigger ATF or CBP admissibility review depending on blade length and locking mechanism, and that articles with historical or collectible status may require additional documentation.

Bayonets designed for attachment to military rifles may be subject to ATF review if they meet the definition of a switchblade or gravity knife under the Federal Switchblade Act, though most fixed-blade bayonets do not. Some states also impose restrictions on importation and sale of certain blade lengths. Importers should verify both federal and destination-state requirements before entry.
Both decorative and functional swords are classified under 9307000000 in the US schedule, as there is no subdivision by intended use within this heading. However, the distinction can matter for valuation and for state-level admissibility rules. If a decorative sword is rendered permanently non-functional (e.g., blade welded to scabbard), it may be reclassifiable as an ornamental article under Chapter 83 or 97 — a determination that should be confirmed with a licensed customs broker.
