Refillable gas-fueled pocket lighters occupy a premium tier of the lighter market, with China leading US supply and France and Spain contributing well-known branded product lines. The refillable construction — featuring a valve or port that allows the consumer to recharge the butane or other gas fuel — is the defining characteristic that separates these goods from their disposable counterparts under 961310. All imports enter under tariff line 9613200000, and Chinese-origin goods are subject to Section 301 tariffs, a cost factor that has encouraged some sourcing diversification toward Japan and Switzerland for higher-end product.
