Import Tips & Compliance

Obtain a detailed vessel survey and builder's certificate confirming length between 7.5m-24m and inboard motor configuration to avoid misclassification

Ensure compliance with US Coast Guard documentation requirements for vessels over 5 net tons, including proof of pleasure/sports use
