Import Tips
• Provide detailed specification sheets confirming length and sail primacy to distinguish from motorboats; measure from bow to stern per official standards
• Include import permits for recreational vessels and ensure no commercial fishing gear to maintain pleasure boat status
• Watch for pitfalls in keel type declaration—water ballast models may require engineering certs to avoid parts classification under 8908
