Products classified under HTS 9306.90.00.20
AGM-114 Hellfire Air-to-Ground Missile
The AGM-114 Hellfire is a precision-guided missile primarily used by helicopters and drones for anti-tank and close air support roles. It employs semi-active laser homing for terminal guidance, classifying it as a guided missile under HTS 9306.90.00.20 due to its autonomous flight control and target acquisition capabilities.
AIM-120 AMRAAM Air-to-Air Missile
The AIM-120 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile features active radar homing for beyond-visual-range engagements from fighter aircraft. Its fire-and-forget guidance qualifies it under HTS 9306.90.00.20 as a guided missile designed for aerial combat.
Tomahawk Land Attack Missile (TLAM)
The Tomahawk cruise missile uses inertial navigation, GPS, and terrain contour matching for long-range precision strikes from naval platforms. As a fully autonomous guided weapon, it falls under HTS 9306.90.00.20 for guided missiles.
Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) Missile
The PAC-3 interceptor missile uses hit-to-kill technology with active radar homing for ballistic missile defense. Its guidance system designates it as a guided missile under HTS 9306.90.00.20.
Javelin Anti-Tank Guided Missile
The FGM-148 Javelin is a man-portable fire-and-forget missile using infrared imaging for top-attack anti-armor roles. Its autonomous guidance after launch classifies it under HTS 9306.90.00.20.
Stinger MANPADS Guided Missile
The FIM-92 Stinger is a shoulder-fired infrared-homing surface-to-air missile for low-altitude air defense. Its passive heat-seeking guidance qualifies it as a guided missile under HTS 9306.90.00.20.
Harpoon Anti-Ship Guided Missile
The AGM-84 Harpoon is a radar-guided over-the-horizon anti-ship missile launched from ships, subs, or aircraft. Active radar terminal guidance places it under HTS 9306.90.00.20 for guided missiles.
Brimstone Air-to-Surface Guided Missile
The Brimstone missile uses millimetric wave radar and inertial/GPS guidance for autonomous dual-mode attack against ground targets. Its advanced seeker technology classifies it under HTS 9306.90.00.20.
Spike NLOS Guided Missile
The Spike Non-Line-of-Sight missile provides beyond-line-of-sight capability via fiber-optic or wireless guidance from ground vehicles. Electro-optical guidance designates it HTS 9306.90.00.20.
Excalibur GPS-Guided Artillery Projectile
The M982 Excalibur is a 155mm GPS/INS-guided artillery shell converting standard howitzer fire into precision strikes. Despite shell form, its canard-controlled guidance qualifies as a guided missile under HTS 9306.90.00.20.
