Last updated: April 2026 dataFrance and Spain dominate US imports of non-refillable gas-fueled pocket lighters — a supply pattern driven largely by major European lighter brands with established US distribution networks. All goods in this heading enter under a single tariff line (9613100000), simplifying classification but not necessarily duty exposure, as Chinese-origin lighters in this category carry Section 301 tariff implications. The non-refillable designation is the key classification boundary: once the gas is exhausted, the lighter is designed for disposal rather than refueling, distinguishing it from the refillable subheading.

The distinction turns on whether the lighter's gas reservoir is designed to be replenished by the end user. Non-refillable lighters (961310) lack a refill valve or port and are intended for single-use-until-empty disposal. Refillable lighters (961320) have a mechanism allowing the consumer to recharge the fuel supply. Physical construction — not marketing language — governs classification.
Yes. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) requires that disposable lighters meet child-resistance standards under 16 CFR Part 1210. Importers must ensure lighters comply before entry; non-compliant shipments can be refused admission or recalled. Working with a licensed customs broker and reviewing CPSC requirements prior to shipment is strongly recommended.
