Aluminum Pontoon Floating Dock from Mexico
An aluminum pontoon floating dock is a lightweight, buoyant platform supported by aluminum pontoons, designed to provide stable mooring and access for recreational vessels. Its primary function is to serve as a stationary floating platform for berthing, with navigability being entirely subsidiary, which places it under tariff item 8905.90.90 as an 'other' floating dock.

Import Tips
• Ensure the dock is classified as a floating dock with no self-propulsion capability; provide technical specifications to the CBSA showing navigability is subsidiary
• Verify if the aluminum components qualify for any duty relief under the Customs Tariff's general preferential provisions
• Keep invoices and origin certificates ready to support the declared value and classification
