Last updated: April 2026 dataPaddle-powered and sail-fitted inflatable vessels β including kayaks, rafts, and rigid-hull inflatables not designed for motor use β with an unladen weight at or below 100 kg are classified here, with the US schedule again splitting by hull type and unit value: rigid-hull over $500 (8903120015), non-rigid-hull over $500 (8903120020), and all non-motorized inflatables at or below $500 (8903120060). China and Vietnam are the dominant US import sources, and given China's position, Section 301 tariff exposure is a primary cost consideration for importers of recreational paddle craft. The Czech Republic and France also supply higher-specification whitewater and rescue inflatables.

Inflatable stand-up paddleboards (iSUPs) are generally classified as inflatable boats under 890312 if they meet the weight threshold and are not designed for motor use, but CBP has issued rulings placing some SUPs in other headings depending on their design and intended use. Importers should obtain a binding ruling from CBP before large-volume shipments to avoid reclassification risk.
Standard documentation includes a commercial invoice showing the per-unit price, packing list, and bill of lading. For Vietnamese-origin goods, importers should also retain evidence of origin to support any applicable duty treatment and to respond to CBP requests for verification of the declared transaction value.
