Import Tips

• Provide builder's plate details and engine specs in entry docs; pitfall is misstating length, leading to wrong subheading

• Ensure compliance with EPA emission standards for inboard engines; include test certificates to avoid holds

• For used vessels, get marine survey report confirming 'other' status excluding specialized features
