Import Tips
• Verify vessel length measurement per USCG standards using waterline length to confirm ≤7.5m classification
• Provide builder's certificate and material composition docs to avoid misclassification as powered craft
• Ensure no outboard motor mounts are present, as that could shift to sail/motor category
