Import Tips
• Verify child-resistant mechanisms comply with CPSC standards for lighters to avoid import restrictions
• Include safety data sheets for butane fuel and ensure packaging labels flame height and refill instructions
• Declare exact butane capacity; misclassification as pocket lighters (9613.10) is a common audit trigger
