Import Tips
• Include racing certificates or ORC ratings to affirm sports use under pleasure vessel definition
• Measure length overall (LOA) precisely; exclude bow sprit if not structural to avoid length disputes
• Avoid bulk import without individual serial numbers—CBP requires vessel identification
