Import Tips
• Verify ball circumference and weight meet FIFA/ NBA standards to confirm classification under 9506.62.80
• Include material composition certificates (e.g
• synthetic leather, butyl bladder) for customs valuation
• Avoid misclassification as toys by proving athletic use; common pitfall is retail packaging resembling children's toys
