Last updated: July 2026 dataFlints and wicks are explicitly excluded from this heading, leaving it to cover the mechanical and structural components of lighters — valve assemblies, cases, wheels, and similar parts — whether for gas pocket lighters or electrical ignition types. The US schedule provides three 10-digit lines: 9613900000 (general lighter parts), 9613904000 (parts of electrical lighters), and 9613908000 (other parts, not elsewhere specified). France and Spain lead US supply, reflecting the parts-supply chains that support their major lighter manufacturing brands, with China and Mexico also significant contributors.

The HTS explicitly carves out flints and wicks from 961390 because these consumable items have their own classification elsewhere in the schedule — flints under heading 3606 and wicks under heading 5908. Importers should not bundle flints or wicks with other lighter parts on a single line entry without verifying the correct classification for each component.
Parts of electrical lighters are specifically broken out under 9613904000, while other lighter parts (excluding flints and wicks) fall under 9613908000. A mixed shipment should be classified line by line based on the nature of each component. If the electrical versus non-electrical distinction is unclear from the part's design, consulting a licensed customs broker is advisable.
