Import Tips

Verify unladen weight certification excluding motor to confirm subheading 8903.11.0060; include detailed spec sheets in documentation

Ensure vessel meets US Coast Guard safety standards for recreational boats; obtain manufacturer’s declaration of conformity

Avoid misclassification by documenting pleasure/sports end-use; bulk imports may require additional EPA fuel system compliance
