Last updated: April 2026 dataCarnival masks, Halloween costumes, party novelties, and other festive or entertainment articles that are neither Christmas-specific nor captured by a named heading fall into this broad residual category. The explicit exclusion of Christmas tree lights and other Christmas articles is the primary boundary condition separating this heading from 89441 and 89445. Importers of Halloween and carnival goods should be aware that costume components containing electronics or batteries may trigger additional product safety review under CPSC authority.

When the essential character of the article is that of a costume or festive entertainment item, it generally classifies here even if it incorporates minor electronic elements such as LED accents. However, if the electronic component dominates the article's function or value, reclassification under an electrical apparatus heading may apply. A binding ruling from CBP is advisable for borderline cases.
Carnival and costume masks intended purely for entertainment or disguise classify as festive or entertainment articles here. Masks designed to provide respiratory or eye protection classify under personal protective equipment headings regardless of decorative features. The determining factor is the article's primary intended function, not its appearance.
