Import Tips
• Label as pleasure craft only; commercial use requires different entry; provide hull identification number (HIN) and length certificate
• Check for inadvertent motorboat classification if auxiliary engine horsepower exceeds sail capability
• Secure pre-shipment inspection for structural integrity
