9613.90.80.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 9613.90.80.00, encompasses parts for cigarette lighters and other lighters that are not specifically classified under the "Electrical" subcategory. This includes a broad range of components, such as the internal mechanisms, casings, igniting elements (excluding flints and wicks themselves, which have their own distinct classification), fuel reservoirs, and decorative elements that are integral to the functioning or construction of non-electrical lighters. The key distinguishing factor here is the absence of electrical components; if a part relies on electrical power or has electrical functionality to operate the lighter, it would be classified under the sibling category 9613.90.40.00.

Given that this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to detail. Therefore, classification under 9613.90.80.00 hinges on a thorough examination of the part's material composition, its intended function within a non-electrical lighter, and its physical characteristics. For example, a metal casing for a refillable butane lighter, a spring mechanism for a flip-top lid, or a specialized valve for gas flow would all fall under this residual "Other" designation, provided they are not electrical in nature. The classification requires careful consideration to ensure that parts are not mistakenly assigned here if they have a more specific classification elsewhere within Chapter 96 or if they are explicitly excluded (like flints and wicks).
