U.S. exports of motorized inflatable boats (unladen weight ≤ 100 kg) (HS 890311) totaled $3.4M in July 2026.
Importers of Motorized Inflatable Boats (Unladen Weight ≤ 100 kg) paid $224K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 15% on $1.4M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Motorized Inflatable Boats (Unladen Weight ≤ 100 kg) imports of $1.7M in July 2026 ran 24% below the year-to-date monthly average of $2.3M.
Last updated: July 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.

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.
