Import Tips
• Classify the J/70 as a sailboat even if it includes an outboard motor for docking, as the primary propulsion is sail
• Ensure the boat's length is documented to confirm it is under 7.5 meters
• If importing for racing, note that no special permits are required for pleasure craft, but commercial use would change classification
