Why CigBuster must be sold without a lighter in the U.S. and other countries:
Lighter regulations: Many countries, including the U.S., have strict regulations regarding the import and sale of lighters, as they are classified as hazardous goods. This makes it complicated and costly to ship products with built-in lighters internationally.
Safety regulations: Lighters are considered pressurized containers with flammable contents, meaning they fall under strict transportation and safety regulations. Air shipping of such items requires special permits and packaging.
Costs and logistics: Complying with these regulations increases shipping costs and delivery times, making the product more expensive and less competitive in international markets.
Customs regulations and restrictions: Import laws in several countries, including the U.S., may result in products with lighters being held at customs or outright banned, creating the risk of the product not reaching the customer.
Alternative solution: To avoid these hurdles, CigBuster is sold without a lighter in international markets, including the U.S., making it easier to transport and ensuring compliance with local laws.
Focus on usability: Although the lighter is not included internationally, the product retains its unique function as a portable and convenient ashtray for smokers on the go.
