Halloween costumes are generally classified under apparel chapters (61 or 62) based on their construction and constituent material, not under 9505.90, unless they are clearly flimsy, non-durable articles with no utility beyond a single festive occasion. CBP has issued rulings distinguishing durable textile costumes (apparel) from disposable festive garments (9505). Importers should review applicable CBP rulings or seek a binding ruling for their specific product.
No. Pyrotechnic articles such as sparklers, fireworks, and party poppers are classified under Chapter 36 (explosives and pyrotechnic products), not under 9505.90, regardless of their festive end use. Importers of such items also face additional regulatory requirements from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
