Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify the ball meets FIVB size (65-67 cm circumference) and weight (260-280g) standards for proper classification as a volleyball; ensure CPSC compliance for any consumer safety labeling

• Common pitfall: misclassifying as a generic inflatable toy if marketed for casual play rather than competitive sports
