Import Tips & Compliance

• Provide brand-specific invoices showing billiards-only marketing to customs for accurate HTS verification

• Ensure labeling complies with US consumer product safety standards for dust inhalation risks

• Avoid importing in large industrial quantities without end-use certificates, as it may be seen as non-retail
