9613.80 - Other lighters:

HTS 9613.80 encompasses "Other lighters," serving as a residual category for devices that function as lighters but do not fit into the more specific classifications of pocket lighters or parts. This heading primarily includes lighters that are designed for stationary use or are not pocket-sized. Examples could include larger, decorative lighters intended for use on tables, desks, or for special occasions, which may operate on various fuel sources and mechanisms.

This category is distinguished from its siblings, 9613.10.00.00 and 9613.20.00.00, which are exclusively designated for pocket lighters, categorized by their non-refillable or refillable nature, respectively. Furthermore, it is separate from 9613.90, which is dedicated to the individual components or parts of lighters. HTS 9613.80 thus captures complete lighter units that fall outside these defined parameters.

Within HTS 9613.80, a further subdivision exists. The subcategory 9613.80.10 specifically identifies "Table lighters." This indicates that the remaining items under 9613.80 are those lighters that are neither pocket lighters, nor parts, nor specifically table lighters, thereby creating a more refined classification for a diverse range of lighter types.
