Import Tips
• Verify unladen weight documentation does not exceed 100 kg and confirm no motor design in technical specs to avoid reclassification
• Provide material safety data sheets for PVC or Hypalon to meet import regulations on inflatable craft
• Label clearly as 'pleasure/sports vessel' and include assembly instructions to prevent pitfalls with incomplete vessel rules
