Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify ball circumference (27.5-29.5 inches for sizes 6-7) and inflation specs to confirm basketball classification; measure before import
• Include material composition (e.g
• synthetic leather, rubber bladder) on invoices to avoid reclassification as toys or general rubber products
• Ensure packaging labels distinguish from golf/table-tennis balls; common pitfall is bulk shipping mistaken for parts
