Import Tips
• Obtain a detailed vessel survey and builder's certificate confirming length, sailboat design, and pleasure use to support classification
• Ensure compliance with USCG documentation requirements and provide proof of non-commercial use to avoid reclassification
• Verify auxiliary motor specs in documentation, as it does not change the primary sailboat classification but must be declared
