Import Tips
• Verify unladen weight certification excluding motor to confirm <100kg compliance; include detailed spec sheets in documentation
• Provide proof of rigid hull attachment and valuation over $500; common pitfall is misclassifying as non-rigid inflatable
• Ensure vessel meets pleasure/sports end-use; obtain USCG documentation for import clearance
