Heading 9613 : Cigarette lighters and other lighters, whether or not mechanical or electrical, and parts thereof other than flints and wicks.
This heading includes :(1) Mechanical lighters.
These produce sparks, usually by means of a wheel with a milled-edge which is revolved in contact with a flint (generally of ferro-cerium alloy). (2) Electrical lighters.
Current from the mains or a battery produces a spark, or in certain types, a glowing heat in an electric resistor. (3) Chemical lighters.
In these a catalyst (usually sponge platinum) is made to glow by catalytic action in the presence of a gas. (4) Non-mechanical lighters.
One type consists of a container incorporating a fuel reservoir, and a small removable metal rod (the striker) fitted with a steel tip. The striking of the steel tip on a flint fixed on the outside of the container produces a spark which ignites an inflammable material near the tip of the striker.
The lighters classified in this heading may be of the pocket or table types, or may be designed for fixing on the wall, fitting to gas stoves, etc. The heading also includes lighters for motor cars or other vehicles.
Lighters combined with other objects (e.g., cigarette cases, powder cases, watches generally with digital faces, electronic calculators) are classified in accordance with the General Interpretative Rules. The heading also includes identifiable parts of lighters (e.g., outer casings, milled-edged wheels, empty or full fuel reservoirs). The heading does not cover igniters of heading 36.03, flints (heading 36.06), wicks (heading 59.08 or 70.19) or fuel in containers (ampoules, bottles, cans, etc.) of a kind used for filling or refilling cigarette or similar lighters (generally heading 36.06).
