Temporary Construction Buoy from Japan

Temporary construction buoys are foam collar buoys used to mark dredging exclusion zones during marine construction projects. They fall under tariff item 8907.90.20 as 'other buoys and beacons' because they are temporary marker buoys, not commercial fishing markers or other floating structures.

Import Tips

• Ensure the buoys are classified as marker buoys, not fishing markers, to avoid misclassification

• Provide CBSA with the buoy's intended use in construction projects

• Check if any environmental permits are required for marking exclusion zones
