Import Tips

Verify vessel length measurement per USCG standards and ensure certificate of origin specifies inboard/outdrive configuration to avoid reclassification

Obtain USCG documentation and comply with safety standards (e.g

stability tests) before importation; common pitfall is missing engine serial numbers

Declare hull material and propulsion type accurately; inspect for 'essential character' to prevent shifts to heading 8906 for incomplete vessels
