9505.90 - Other:

HTS code 9505.90 encompasses a broad range of festive, carnival, and other entertainment articles that do not specifically fall under the more defined subheadings within Chapter 95. This category is intended for items designed for celebration, amusement, or performance, excluding those explicitly categorized elsewhere. Unlike its sibling HTS code 9505.10, which is exclusively for Christmas-related festivities, HTS 9505.90 covers a wider spectrum of events and celebrations throughout the year.

This broad category is further refined by its subcategories, which provide more specific guidance for classification. HTS 9505.90.20.00 addresses magic tricks and practical joke articles, distinguishing them by their inherent element of surprise, illusion, or lighthearted deception. HTS 9505.90.40.00 is designated for items commonly associated with parties and celebrations, such as confetti, streamers, party favors, and noisemakers, all of which contribute to a festive atmosphere through visual or auditory stimulation.

The residual subheading, 9505.90.60.00, serves as a catch-all for other festive, carnival, or entertainment articles not specifically described in the preceding subheadings. This includes items like masquerade masks not otherwise classified, piñatas, party hats, and various novelty items intended for amusement or celebration, provided they meet the general criteria of being manufactured articles for entertainment purposes. The key distinction for this entire heading lies in the item's primary function: to contribute to festive occasions or provide amusement.
