Manufacture of weapons and ammunition

Manufacturing is a Qualifying Activity; however, forensic audit focuses on the 'Substantial Transformation' test. Entities must prove that the end product (ammunition/weaponry) has a different HS Code and utility than the imported components to avoid re-characterization as non-qualifying distribution.

Audit Red Flag

Misclassification of 'Trading in Weapons' (Excluded Activity) as 'Manufacturing' (Qualifying Activity) when no substantial transformation of raw materials occurs.
