Import Tips
• Verify vessel length certificate from manufacturer to confirm ≤7.5m classification and avoid higher tariff brackets
• Include outboard motor serial numbers and EPA/CARB emissions compliance docs for U.S. customs clearance
• Watch for misclassification as sailboats if equipped with auxiliary sails; declare as motorboat primary propulsion
