Last updated: August 2026 dataLighter components — such as valve assemblies, cases, wheels, and ignition mechanisms — that are not flints or wicks fall under this residual parts heading, which serves the lighter manufacturing and repair supply chain. The explicit exclusion of flints and wicks (which classify separately) means importers must identify the specific component type before entry. Section 301 tariffs may apply to China-origin lighter parts, consistent with the treatment of finished lighters, and importers should confirm current coverage with a licensed customs broker.

Flints and wicks are specifically carved out of this heading because they have their own classification pathways — flints as ignition articles and wicks as textile or other material products — reflecting their distinct material composition and broader use beyond lighters. Importers shipping mixed lots of lighter components must separate flints and wicks for correct classification.
If the valve is designed and marketed specifically for use in lighters, it classifies here as a lighter part. If it is a general-purpose valve suitable for multiple gas appliance types, it may classify under a broader valve or fitting heading. A binding ruling from CBP is advisable for dual-use components where the principal use is not clear-cut.
