Import Tips
• 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
