HS Code 9613.90 – Lighters; parts for cigarette lighters and other lighters, whether or not mechanical or electrical, other than flints and wicks

HS code 9613.90 is the 6-digit subheading for lighters, parts for cigarette lighters and other lighters, whether or not mechanical or electrical, other than flints and wicks. It is used for lighter fuel tanks, lighter ignition modules, lighter valve assemblies, lighter outer casings and lighter burner units.

What HS 9613.90 covers

This HS code covers the international trade of parts and components for various types of lighters, excluding common consumables like flints and wicks. This includes essential elements such as lighter bodies, fuel tanks, ignition mechanisms, valves, and decorative casings. The trade in these parts is crucial for both the manufacturing of new lighters and the aftermarket for repair and maintenance, particularly for higher-end or collectible models. Importers are typically lighter manufacturers, specialized repair shops, and distributors catering to the assembly or service industry. Exporters are often component manufacturers, frequently co-located with lighter assembly plants, predominantly in Asia and Europe. Key considerations in this segment include precision engineering, material quality, compatibility with specific lighter models, and adherence to safety standards for components.

How these figures are built

109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
