Last updated: April 2026 dataSITC 89124 serves as the residual heading for loaded cartridges and their parts that do not fall under the more specific shotgun or military ammunition headings—covering, for example, rimfire and centerfire cartridges for rifles and handguns, as well as component parts such as cases, bullets, and propellant charges not elsewhere classified. ATF Form 6 import permits are required for all firearm ammunition and ammunition components entering the US, and origin marking must comply with CBP regulations. Trade-remedy exposure varies by origin, and importers of cartridges from certain jurisdictions should verify whether antidumping or Section 301 measures apply.

SITC 89122 is specific to shotgun cartridges (smooth-bore, shot-loaded shells), while 89124 captures all other loaded cartridges—rimfire, centerfire, pistol, and rifle rounds—as well as parts not elsewhere specified. The key classification test is the type of firearm the cartridge is designed for and whether it fits a more specific heading.
Mixed shipments should be itemized separately on the commercial invoice and packing list, with each line identifying whether the article is a complete loaded cartridge or an unassembled component. ATF may require separate permit coverage for components classified as ammunition components under the Gun Control Act, and CBP may assess duties on each line at its applicable rate.
