Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify if the racket is strung or unstrung, as strung rackets fall directly under 9506.59.4040 while frames may require separate classification
• Provide detailed material composition (e.g
• graphite, carbon fiber) and ensure country-of-origin labeling to avoid misclassification
