Import Tips
• Obtain a vessel documentation certificate from U.S
• Coast Guard if over 5 net tons and ensure length measurement complies with LOA standards
• Provide builder's certificate and material composition to verify it's not inflatable and fits sailboat classification
• Check for auxiliary motor specs to confirm it doesn't shift to powerboat headings; declare hull material accurately
