Import Tips & Compliance

• Document aluminum hull material and weight breakdown to substantiate <100kg unladen claim

• Label as 'pleasure vessel' on paperwork; avoid commercial fishing descriptions to prevent duty hikes

• Check for rigid hull inflatable (RHIB) certification to distinguish from soft-hull inflatables
