Last updated: April 2026 dataA broad residual heading, 961380 captures lighters that are neither gas-fueled pocket lighters nor parts thereof — including table lighters (butane and otherwise), multipurpose lighters for charcoal grills and fireplaces, electrical lighters, and lighters of precious metals or stones. The US tariff schedule subdivides this heading into nine 10-digit lines ranging from 9613801010 through 9613808000, with breakouts by fuel type, material composition, and unit value (notably the $5-per-dozen threshold). China is the dominant supplier, with Mexico and Italy also significant sources; Italian product tends to concentrate in the decorative and precious-metal segments.

Importers must declare the correct line based on the transaction value per dozen units, making accurate invoicing and appraisement critical to avoid misclassification.
Multipurpose lighters designed for uses such as charcoal grills and fireplaces classify under 9613802010 within heading 961380, provided they are not gas-fueled pocket lighters. The key is that their primary design is for extended-reach or multi-application ignition rather than personal pocket carry.
