Last updated: April 2026 dataFrames, barrels, cylinders, slides, grips, and other components designed for revolvers and pistols that fire live ammunition are classified under SITC 89191. Under US law, the frame or receiver of a handgun is itself legally a firearm, requiring ATF Form 6 import authorization and serial-number marking; other parts such as barrels and slides are regulated as firearm parts but may have different permit requirements. Importers should note that certain pistol components from specific origins may be subject to Section 301 tariffs, making origin verification and tariff engineering a routine compliance consideration.

Under the Gun Control Act, the frame or receiver is the regulated firearm component requiring an ATF import permit and serial number. Slides, barrels, and other parts are regulated as firearm parts but are not themselves firearms. However, importers of any pistol component should confirm current ATF guidance, as regulatory interpretations—particularly for partially completed frames—have evolved in recent years.
Pistol parts originating from countries subject to Section 301 tariff actions may carry additional duties on top of the standard MFN rate. Importers should verify the applicable HTS subheading and origin of each component, as the Section 301 lists are product- and country-specific. Working with a licensed customs broker to confirm current duty exposure before placing orders can prevent unexpected landed-cost increases.
