Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify lighter is designed for stationary table use, not portable, to qualify under 9613.80 subheading

• Include safety certifications like CPSC for fuel-containing lighters to prevent import delays

• Label fuel type (butane/propane) and child-safety features; mislabeling leads to CBP holds
