Can I order lighters and ship them internationally?
Last Updated:
Lighters are classified as flammable and hazardous items, and international shipping is strictly regulated.
Whether a lighter can be shipped internationally depends on its type, condition, and whether it can be safely disassembled.
Please review the information below carefully before placing an order.

The lighter is new
The lighter can be fully disassembled
All flammable components are completely removed, including:

⚠️ Important Notes
Our warehouse does not guarantee that every ZIPPO or oil lighter can be safely disassembled.
Some models may be damaged during disassembly or may not be removable at all.
If disassembly is not possible, the item cannot be shipped internationally.

Our warehouse performs a visual and safety-based check only
We do not:
Test functionality

Guarantee international shippability before arrival
Final shipping eligibility is determined after the item arrives at our warehouse.
⚠️ Important Warnings Before Ordering
If an item is found to be non-shippable internationally, you may only:
Ship it within Japan, or
Dispose of it according to regulations
Cancellations after order placement may not be possible and may incur fees, depending on the seller
Please only place an order if you understand and accept these conditions.
