About lawn-tennis rackets; whether or not strung

HS code 950651 covers the import and export of lawn-tennis rackets, whether or not strung. This industry plays a crucial role in the global sports equipment market, catering to the growing demand for high-quality tennis equipment among both professional and recreational players. As a key component of the broader sporting goods industry, the lawn-tennis racket market contributes significantly to the overall economy, with a wide range of applications and a diverse customer base.

Production process

The production of lawn-tennis rackets typically involves a multi-step process. Manufacturers begin by selecting and sourcing the necessary raw materials, such as high-tensile strength materials for the frame and specialized strings. The frames are then shaped, often using advanced manufacturing techniques like injection molding or carbon fiber layup. The strings are carefully woven and tensioned to provide the desired level of responsiveness and control. Finally, the racket components are assembled and undergo rigorous quality control checks before being packaged and distributed.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of lawn-tennis rackets include high-quality raw materials such as 392010 carbon fiber, 540233 polyester, and 540247 nylon for the frame and strings. Specialized machinery, such as string-tensioning devices and precision cutting tools, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, skilled labor, including engineers, technicians, and assembly workers, is necessary to ensure the production of durable and performance-oriented tennis rackets.
