About This Section
Section XIX covers arms, ammunition, and their parts and accessories (Chapter 93). Imports are heavily regulated: ATF import permits are required, and the Arms Export Control Act and ITAR govern many defense articles. Civilian firearm and ammunition imports require ATF Form 6 approval. Duty rates are moderate (3-6%), but the regulatory burden is substantial. Certain military-grade weapons and ammunition are restricted to government imports only. Country-of-origin restrictions apply to arms from sanctioned nations.
