Last updated: April 2026 dataRackets for tennis, badminton, squash, and similar racket sports are classified under this heading regardless of whether they arrive pre-strung or unstrung — a distinction that does not change the heading but may affect value and duty calculation when strings are separately invoiced. Frame materials (graphite, aluminum, composite) and intended sport are the primary classification considerations. Production is heavily concentrated in Asia, and Section 301 measures have influenced sourcing decisions for Chinese-origin rackets.

Both strung and unstrung rackets fall within the same SITC heading. However, if strings are separately invoiced or added after importation, the customs value of the racket frame alone may differ from that of a finished strung racket. Importers should ensure the commercial invoice accurately reflects the condition of the goods at time of entry.
When a racket is marketed or designed for use in more than one racket sport, classification typically follows the article's primary design characteristics — frame dimensions, string tension range, and handle grip size. A licensed customs broker can help determine the most defensible classification based on the specific product specifications and any available manufacturer documentation.
