About fuels; liquid or liquefied-gas, in containers, of a kind used for filling or refilling cigarette or similar lighters, (of a capacity not exceeding 300cm3)

HS code 360610 covers a specific category of fuels used in cigarette and similar lighters. These fuels, typically in the form of liquefied gas, are packaged in small containers for convenient refilling of lighters. This industry plays a vital role in supporting the broader tobacco and smoking accessories market, providing the necessary fuel to power the ubiquitous cigarette lighter found in households and businesses worldwide.

Production process

The production of HS 360610 fuels involves the liquefaction of various hydrocarbon gases, such as butane or propane. This process typically takes place in specialized facilities equipped with compression and cooling equipment. The liquefied gas is then carefully measured, packaged, and sealed into the small containers that are the hallmark of this product category.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS 360610 fuels include the hydrocarbon gases, such as 271129 Petroleum gases and other gaseous hydrocarbons, as well as specialized packaging materials, such as small metal or plastic containers. Additionally, the production process requires access to compression and cooling equipment, as well as a reliable supply of energy to power the liquefaction and packaging operations.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS 360610 is the liquefied fuel containers used to refill cigarette and similar lighters. These containers are then distributed and sold to retailers, wholesalers, and directly to consumers. The HS 360610 fuels are often consumed by industries and individuals that utilize 960310 Lighters, whether or not mechanical or electrical, and parts thereof and other smoking-related products.
