Import Tips
• Verify vessel length measurement per USCG standards using waterline length to confirm >5m classification
• Provide builder's certificate and hull material certification (aluminum alloy specs) to avoid reclassification
• Ensure outboard motor is imported separately if not factory-installed to prevent set classification issues
