Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify the board meets sailboard definitions (buoyant hull with mast track) to avoid reclassification as generic surfboards under 9506.21.2000

• Include detailed technical specs and photos in entry documentation to confirm it's not a powered watercraft

• Check for country-of-origin markings; composite materials may trigger additional fiber content declarations
