Import Tips
• Obtain a Certificate of Origin and detailed vessel specifications including length and engine type to confirm classification under 8903.31.0025
• Ensure the boat is imported as a complete vessel, not disassembled, to avoid reclassification to heading 8906 for incomplete hulls
• Comply with US Coast Guard documentation requirements and provide stability certificates to prevent delays at entry
