Last updated: April 2026 dataInflatable vessels — including rigid hull inflatable boats — that exceed the 100 kg unladen weight threshold or otherwise fall outside the more specific provisions of subheadings 890311 and 890312 are captured here under a single 10-digit line (8903190000). This residual category tends to encompass larger commercial-grade inflatables used in offshore operations, heavy-duty rescue craft, and military tenders. China is the leading US import source, followed by Tunisia and Spain, the latter two reflecting European manufacturers of professional-grade inflatable workboats. Importers should confirm that oversized or heavy inflatables are not more specifically classifiable under another vessel heading before using this residual provision.

Subheadings 890311 and 890312 are limited to vessels with an unladen weight (excluding motor) not exceeding 100 kg. Inflatable boats — whether motorized or not — that exceed this weight threshold fall into the residual provision at 890319. Importers of larger RHIBs or commercial inflatable craft should weigh the vessel without its motor and compare against this threshold to determine the correct subheading.
Inflatable vessels intended for use as life-saving appliances on US-flagged vessels must meet USCG approval standards under 46 CFR. While customs entry itself does not require USCG pre-clearance, vessels sold for safety-of-life-at-sea applications must carry the appropriate USCG approval markings before being placed in service. Importers supplying the marine safety market should verify compliance with applicable USCG equipment standards.
