U.S. imports of Motorized Inflatable Boats (Unladen Weight ≤ 100 kg) (HS 890311) totaled $2.9M in August 2026, imported from 22 countries.
Importers of Motorized Inflatable Boats (Unladen Weight ≤ 100 kg) paid $181K in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 6.19% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule. Motorized Inflatable Boats (Unladen Weight ≤ 100 kg) imports of $2.9M in August 2026 ran 24% above the year-to-date monthly average of $2.4M.
Last updated: August 2026 dataRigid hull inflatable boats (RHIBs) and soft-hull inflatable vessels fitted or designed for use with a motor, with an unladen weight (excluding motor) not exceeding 100 kg, are a staple of recreational boating, search-and-rescue, and military tender operations. The US schedule subdivides this heading by hull type and unit value: rigid-hull vessels over $500 (8903110015), non-rigid-hull vessels over $500 (8903110020), and all motorized inflatables at or below $500 (8903110060). China dominates US import supply by a wide margin, making these products potentially subject to Section 301 tariffs; importers should verify current tariff treatment at the time of entry.

68 import shipments a month
Vessels valued above $500 per unit are classified into separate lines based on whether they have a rigid hull (8903110015) or not (8903110020), while those at or below $500 fall under 8903110060 regardless of hull construction. The customs value used is the transaction value of the imported vessel without the motor, since the weight threshold also excludes the motor.
Under heading 890311, there is no explicit military-use subdivision as there is in Chapter 88 aircraft parts. Classification is based on hull type and value, not end-user. However, government procurement of RHIBs may involve separate contracting and duty-exemption mechanisms; importers supplying DOD or USCG should confirm applicable entry procedures with their customs broker.
