9613.80.10.80 - Other

This HTS category, 9613.80.10.80, encompasses "Other" table lighters not specifically classified elsewhere within the table lighter subheading. It serves as a residual category for table lighters that do not fit the criteria of other subheadings at this level. Examples include table lighters that are not primarily powered by butane or other specifically enumerated fuel types, or those with unique functional designs or materials not otherwise specified.

While the sibling category 9613.80.10.40 specifically covers butane table lighters, this "Other" category accounts for table lighters utilizing alternative fuel sources or mechanisms. Classification here depends on the absence of specific enumerations in other, more defined categories. The key distinguishing factor is whether the table lighter falls under a more precise description, such as those utilizing butane, or if it represents a distinct variant.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, the focus for classification under 9613.80.10.80 rests on meticulously examining the physical characteristics, fuel source (if any), and operational mechanism of the table lighter to ensure it does not conform to any more specific existing HTS classifications within the table lighter subheadings. This category acts as the final destination for table lighters that have exhausted all other potential classifications.
