Race Course Buoy from Japan
Race course buoys are color-coded inflatable buoys used to mark turning points in sailing regattas, designed for high visibility from a distance. They are classified under tariff item 8907.90.20 as 'other buoys and beacons' because they serve as temporary markers, not commercial fishing markers or general floating structures.
