With continued tariffs placed on imports from China, mass-produced ornaments and other decorations are subject to higher prices. In 2023, the U.S. imported 88% of its total supply of Christmas decorations from China, according to U.S. Census Bureau data.
Tariffs on imported Christmas decor can be 30% or higher, and some items, such as holiday lights, face a tax as high as 63% on top of the previously established 33% tariff, according to the American Christmas Tree Association .
