Import Tips
• Verify the hull material certification as reinforced plastics (e.g
• fiberglass with resin) to confirm classification under 8903.99.21.20; provide lab test reports if requested by customs
• Ensure documentation includes proof of pleasure/sports use, such as marketing materials, to avoid reclassification as commercial under 8902
