(4) Ammunition and missiles (other than articles of Chapter 36).
Subject to a few exceptions (see the Explanatory Notes to headings 93.05 and 93.06), the Chapter also includes parts and accessories of arms and parts of ammunition.
Telescopic sights and other optical devices suitable for use with arms and mounted thereon, or presented with the firearms on which they are designed to be mounted, are classified with the arm. Otherwise presented, such optical devices are excluded (Chapter 90).

However, separately presented arms for these vehicles, etc. (guns, machine-guns, etc.), fall in this Chapter (see the Explanatory Note to heading 93.01 with regard to certain arms mounted on railway or road vehicles). The following are also excluded from this Chapter : (a) Steel helmets and other military headgear (Chapter 65). (b) Personal protective armour, e.g., cuirasses, coats of mail, bullet-proof jackets, etc. (classified according to their constituent materials). (c) Cross-bows, bows and arrows for archery, and arms having the character of toys (Chapter 95). (d) Collectors' pieces and antiques (heading 97.05 or 97.06).
