Last updated: August 2026 dataOrnaments, tinsel, artificial wreaths, nativity figures, and other decorative articles used specifically for Christmas celebrations fall under this residual heading when they are not Christmas tree lighting sets, which classify separately. The 'not elsewhere specified' scope means classification here is confirmed by exclusion — the article must be recognizably Christmas-themed and not captured by a more specific heading. Section 301 tariff exposure is a significant cost consideration for importers sourcing from major producing countries.

Artificial Christmas trees generally classify under a separate HTS heading for artificial flowers, foliage, and similar articles, not under this Christmas festivity articles heading. Importers should verify the correct classification for artificial trees, as the duty rate and any applicable trade-remedy tariffs may differ.
The article must be recognizably associated with Christmas celebrations by its design, imagery, or commercial presentation — for example, Santa Claus figures, Christmas-themed ornaments, or nativity sets. Generic decorative items (candles, ribbons, vases) that happen to be sold during the holiday season do not qualify; their classification follows their material or functional heading.
