Import Tips
• Verify the ball meets official size (9-9.25 inches circumference) and weight (5-5.25 ounces) standards to confirm classification under 9506.69.20
• Provide documentation certifying genuine leather or synthetic cover material to avoid reclassification as a toy
• Label products clearly as 'sports equipment' to distinguish from casual play items that might fall elsewhere
