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
