Import Tips & Compliance

• Provide manufacturer specs showing USBC approval to differentiate from casual balls that might classify elsewhere

• Ensure packaging indicates 'bowling ball' use to avoid scrutiny as unspecified sports articles

• Check for country-of-origin marking on the ball surface, as bowling balls often require prominent labeling
