9613.80.20.90 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 9613.80.20.90, encompasses "Other" electrical lighters that do not fall under the more specific multipurpose lighter designation. This classification is intended for electrical ignition devices that are designed for personal use, such as those used for lighting cigarettes, cigars, or pipes, and are not primarily intended for igniting grills, fireplaces, or other heating elements. The defining characteristic of this category is its electrical operation, differentiating it from non-electrical lighter types and mechanical lighters.

Unlike its sibling category, 9613.80.20.10, which is designated for multipurpose lighters including those for charcoal and gas grills, this category specifically excludes such appliances. The distinction lies in the intended primary use of the lighter. While both are electrical, this subcategory is for devices of a more personal and portable nature, distinct from larger, stationary ignition tools.

As a leaf node within the HTS structure, this category does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within 9613.80.20.90 relies on confirming that the electrical lighter in question is not a multipurpose lighter and meets the general criteria for "other lighters" within heading 9613. The focus remains on identifying electrical ignition devices that are not explicitly covered by more specific provisions.
