Import Tips
• Verify paintballs meet non-lethal, recreational standards; provide safety data sheets to confirm gelatin shell and washable dye composition
• Declare exact caliber and quantity; misclassification as toys can lead to penalties under Chapter 95
• Check ATF import permits if bundled with markers, as paintballs alone typically require standard munitions documentation
