Igniters used in automotive airbag inflators are generally classified under 3603500000 when imported as standalone pyrotechnic initiating devices. However, when integrated into a complete airbag module or inflator assembly, the classification may shift to a different heading based on the essential character of the assembled article. A licensed customs broker should review the specific product configuration before entry.
Importers must hold a valid ATF federal explosives import permit, as igniters are regulated as explosive initiating devices under federal explosives law. Shipments require DOT-compliant hazmat packaging, labeling, and shipping papers. End-use documentation may also be requested by CBP or ATF to verify the intended application.
