Last updated: August 2026 dataImported recreational watercraft and marine motors enter the US market across a wide range of vessel types — from inflatable dinghies to luxury motor yachts — and engine configurations from small outboards to large inboard diesels. The US Coast Guard sets mandatory safety standards (hull identification numbers, flotation requirements) that foreign-built vessels must meet before sale in the US market. Engine displacement and vessel length are key classification variables at the HTS level, affecting applicable duty rates and any applicable trade-remedy exposure.

End-Use codes describe different products on the import and export sides. Cross-direction exports are not shown for this slug.
Foreign-built recreational vessels sold in the US must comply with US Coast Guard safety standards, including hull identification number assignment, flotation and stability requirements, and applicable equipment standards. Importers are responsible for ensuring compliance before the vessel enters commerce.
At the HTS schedule level, vessel length (e.g., under or over a specified meter threshold) and engine type (outboard vs. inboard, sail vs. motor) determine the specific tariff subheading. Misclassification based on these physical specifications is a common audit finding, so precise measurement and engine documentation are essential.
