Import Tips

• Obtain a detailed vessel survey and builder's certificate confirming length over 24m and pleasure/sports use to support classification under 8903.23.00

• Ensure compliance with US Coast Guard documentation requirements, including tonnage measurement and stability certification before importation

• Verify auxiliary motor specs do not alter primary sailboat classification; avoid pitfalls by excluding commercial fishing gear
