Last updated: August 2026 dataVessels purpose-built for commercial fishing — including trawlers, longliners, and purse-seiners — as well as factory ships equipped to process or preserve catch at sea, are classified here under a single tariff line (8902000000). Canada and Brazil are the leading US import sources under this heading. Beyond customs entry, imported fishing vessels intended for US-flagged operation must comply with US Coast Guard documentation and safety standards, and any vessel used to harvest fish in US waters is subject to Magnuson-Stevens Act fishery management requirements, including vessel permit and documentation rules administered by NOAA Fisheries.

Processing fish in the US EEZ aboard a foreign-built vessel is subject to Magnuson-Stevens Act restrictions and NOAA Fisheries permitting. Foreign-built vessels generally cannot engage in US fisheries without specific authorization, and the Jones Act may further restrict operations in US waters. Operators should consult maritime and fisheries counsel before importing a factory ship for US operations.
CBP typically applies transaction value based on the purchase price in a bona fide arm's-length sale. For used vessels, appraisers may scrutinize comparable sales data if the declared value appears inconsistent with market conditions. Canada's proximity and USMCA status do not eliminate the need for a formal entry, though USMCA origin may affect the applicable duty rate.
