In simple words

Who buys it, and where to start

Clubs, schools, academies and gyms abroad buy balls and kit with their own logo. Home trainers and South Asian families also buy cricket gear and desi games.

Good first products

Promotional logo balls: Clubs, schools and companies order footballs with their own logo in batches.
Embroidered black belts: Martial arts belts with names are personal, light and cheap to ship.
Tape-ball bats: They suit the South Asian street cricket scene in the UK and elsewhere.

Be careful with

Filled punch bags and heavy weights cost a lot to ship; sell bags unfilled with filling instructions.
Never copy club badges, league logos or famous ball designs.
Helmets, mouthguards and other protective items carry safety rules, so skip them at first.

Rules in plain words

What to check

Protective gear like helmets, shin guards and chest guards needs test papers before you call it protective. Mouthguards may fall under health product rules, and toys for children may need toy-safety tests such as EN 71 or CPSIA. Only say a pickleball paddle is USA Pickleball approved if the model is listed.

Protective gear: only call a product "protective" or "safety" if it has been tested to the right standard. (6 product types)
Food, cosmetics and supplements: they need proper labels, and often lab tests or registration. (3 product types)
Children's products: they need safety tests for small parts, cords and chemicals before you sell them. (2 product types)

This is a summary, not legal advice. See the compliance checklist.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between hand-stitched and thermo-bonded balls?

Hand-stitched balls are sewn together panel by panel. Thermo-bonded balls have panels joined with heat. Sialkot makes both, so ask for samples of each.

Can I sell desi games like lattu and pittu?

Yes, they suit schools and heritage days abroad. If you sell them as children's toys, they may need toy-safety testing first.

How do I find my first club customer?

Start with clubs near friends or family abroad. Offer a free design mock-up, as many grassroots clubs buy new balls and kit each season.
