Import Tips
• Verify vessel length and ensure no motor/sail adaptations to confirm classification under rowboats; provide builder's certificate
• Comply with USCG documentation for vessels over 5 meters; include material safety data for wooden construction
• Avoid misclassification by documenting lack of motor mounts; common pitfall is assuming all small boats qualify
