9613.90 - Parts:

This category, HTS Code 9613.90, encompasses all parts and accessories for cigarette lighters and other lighters that are not themselves flints or wicks. This is a distinct classification from finished lighters, focusing solely on components that are intended for the repair or assembly of such devices. Examples include mechanisms for igniting, fuel delivery systems, casings, and decorative elements specifically designed for use with lighters.

It is important to differentiate this "parts" category from the sibling classifications of finished lighters, such as pocket lighters (9613.10 and 9613.20) and other types of lighters (9613.80). While those codes classify the complete functioning unit, 9613.90 is reserved for the individual components that make up these devices, excluding the primary ignition materials like flints and wicks which are classified separately.

Within this category, further distinctions are made to categorize the parts based on their functional design. Subcategories include "Electrical" parts, which would pertain to components of electronic ignition systems or battery-powered lighters, and "Other" parts, which cover all remaining mechanical or non-electrical components necessary for the operation or assembly of various lighter types. This subdivision facilitates more precise classification based on the technological nature of the lighter part.
