Import Tips
• Obtain ISO or ABYC certification for hull materials to prove reinforced plastics and avoid material reclassification
• Include detailed photos and specs in entry docs to confirm pleasure/sports use, not commercial fishing
• Watch for undervaluation pitfalls; use transaction value based on similar US sales for customs valuation
