Import Tips
• Include certification of 11-12 inch circumference and .44-.47 COR rating to substantiate softball classification
• Ensure import declarations specify 'fastpitch softball' to prevent confusion with 16-inch clincher softballs
• Watch for quotas on synthetic leather imports; source from approved suppliers
