U.S. exports of Cruise Ships, Excursion Boats & Ferries (HS 890110) totaled $72K in August 2026, exported to 1 country.
Last updated: August 2026 dataPassenger vessels principally designed for the transport of persons — including ocean cruise ships, day-excursion boats, and ferry boats of all kinds — enter the US under a single 10-digit line (8901100000) with no tariff-rate-quota subdivision. The Jones Act (46 U.S.C. § 55102) prohibits foreign-built vessels from engaging in US domestic coastwise trade, so imported cruise and ferry tonnage is effectively restricted to international routes or sale to foreign operators. Germany and Ukraine are the leading US import sources, reflecting the concentration of large-vessel shipbuilding capacity in European yards.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Generally no. The Jones Act restricts coastwise trade to US-built, US-flagged, and US-crewed vessels. A foreign-built vessel imported under this heading may operate international itineraries from US ports but cannot carry passengers between two US ports without a Jones Act waiver, which is rarely granted.
Entry of a vessel as merchandise requires a formal entry with a commercial invoice, bill of sale or builder's certificate, and evidence of ownership. The vessel must also be documented with the US Coast Guard if it will be US-flagged, and CBP will verify compliance with applicable vessel marking and admissibility requirements.
