9505

Analysis

Heading 9505 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers festive, carnival or other entertainment articles, including magic tricks and practical joke articles; parts and accessories thereof. It divides into 2 six-digit subheadings and 9 eight-digit tariff lines, with 11 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.

Every one of its 9 tariff lines is duty-free at the general rate, so classification within the heading affects statistics and Chapter 99 measures rather than the base duty.

The largest subheadings are 9505.10 (articles for Christmas festivities and parts and…, 6 lines) and 9505.90 (other, 3 lines).

Its median rate of duty-free sits at the 30th percentile of the headings in chapter 95.

By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing (339999), Other Pressed and Blown Glass and Glassware Manufacturing (327212) and Doll, Toy, and Game Manufacturing (339930). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
