Last updated: July 2026 dataLarge motorboats and cabin cruisers over 24 meters represent the superyacht tier of the US import market, where Italy and the Netherlands are the leading sources — countries home to globally recognized builders such as Benetti, Lürssen, and Feadship. The US schedule covers this segment across three tariff lines: inboard/outdrive cabin cruisers (8903330015), open inboard motorboats without a cabin (8903330020), and a residual NESOI line (8903330025). Taiwan also appears among suppliers, reflecting its role in production of larger fiberglass sport cruisers. High transaction values, complex financing structures, and the frequent use of flag-of-convenience registrations make customs valuation and admissibility documentation particularly involved for entries in this heading.

Flag of registry does not determine HTS classification or country of origin for duty purposes. Country of origin is based on where the vessel was substantially manufactured or last underwent a substantial transformation. A superyacht built in Italy but registered under a flag of convenience (e.g., Cayman Islands) is still treated as Italian-origin for tariff purposes. Importers should obtain a builder's certificate confirming the country of construction.
The Jones Act (46 U.S.C. § 55102) restricts coastwise trade — transporting merchandise between US ports — to US-built, US-flagged, and US-crewed vessels. A foreign-built superyacht imported for private recreational use is not engaged in coastwise trade and is not subject to Jones Act restrictions, but it cannot be chartered for hire between US ports without a coastwise endorsement. Importers planning commercial charter operations should consult maritime counsel before entry.
