Import Tips

• Verify vessel dimensions and propulsion type in documentation to confirm it doesn't qualify as a rowing boat or specific warship under other subheadings

• Include seaworthiness certificates and builder's plates to avoid reclassification as parts under Chapter 84 or 85

• Check for dual-use regulations if equipped with military-grade communications, as this may trigger additional export controls
