Import Tips
• Verify unladen weight certification under 100 kg and no motor design via manufacturer specs to avoid reclassification
• Provide detailed valuation proof exceeding $500; common pitfall is undervaluation leading to audits
• Ensure USCG compliance labeling for inflatable vessels; missing docs can delay clearance
