Import Tips
• Verify hull material certification as metal (e.g
• aluminum alloy) to avoid reclassification; provide mill test reports
• Ensure length measurement is from transom to bow per USCG standards; include builder's declaration
• Obtain USCG documentation for vessels over 5 feet; watch for AD/CVD on certain aluminum imports
