Import Tips

• Verify exact length measurement per ISO 8666 standards to confirm HTS 8903.21.0040 classification and avoid reclassification to adjacent size bands

• Obtain vessel documentation including builder's certificate, CE certification for EU compliance, and proof of pleasure/sports use to prevent commercial vessel scrutiny

• Declare any auxiliary motor separately if over 50HP to avoid duty stacking; common pitfall is incomplete hull assembly documentation leading to 8906 classification
