CHAPTER

96 — Miscellaneous manufactured articles

In plain English

This category covers cigarette lighters and other types of lighters, regardless of whether they operate mechanically or electrically, along with their parts, excluding flints and wicks. The classification distinguishes between non-refillable and refillable gas-fueled pocket cigarette lighters. It also includes other lighters not specified elsewhere in this category, as well as the specific parts for these devices.

Chapter 96 classification notes

A catch-all chapter for manufactured articles not elsewhere classified. Generally low duty rates (0-8%). Cigarette lighters face child-safety standards (ISO 9994) and import restrictions in some markets.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Many 'miscellaneous' items actually have specific chapters — brushes (Chapter 96 heading 9603) vs cosmetic applicators (some in Ch. 96, some in Ch. 33). Check specific headings carefully.

Classification certainty

The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
