Import Tips

• Verify unladen weight certification excluding motor to confirm HTS 8903.11.00 classification; weights over 100kg shift to 8903.12

• Provide vessel documentation including CE marking or ISO 6185 compliance for inflatable boats to avoid customs delays

• Declare as 'pleasure/sports vessel' not commercial to prevent reclassification; watch for motor inclusion in weight calculations
