Last updated: July 2026 dataOutboard motorboats, canoes, rowboats, and other human- or motor-powered recreational craft up to 7.5 meters fall under this broadly populated heading, which carries the most granular US tariff structure in the pleasure-craft chapter. Hull material and length drive classification among the outboard motorboat lines — metal hulls under 5 m (8903932015), metal hulls 5–7.5 m (8903932030), reinforced plastic hulls under 5 m (8903932045), and reinforced plastic hulls 5–7.5 m (8903932060) — while canoes and rowboats occupy separate lines based on design intent. Mexico and Canada lead supply, with Finland and Poland also significant, reflecting North American aluminum fishing boat production alongside European composite canoe manufacturing.

CBP looks at the vessel's design characteristics: hull shape, seat configuration, and whether the transom is reinforced to accept a motor mount. A traditional canoe with a flat or squared stern that can physically accept a small outboard may still be classified as a canoe if its primary design is for paddling. Importers should provide the manufacturer's product specifications and marketing materials to support the intended-use classification.
The US tariff lines under 890393 split outboard motorboats by hull material (metal versus reinforced plastic) and length, so hull composition directly determines the applicable 10-digit code. A manufacturer's certificate, material specification sheet, or CE technical file identifying the hull construction material is the standard supporting document. For composite or hybrid hulls, a written statement from the builder identifying the primary structural material is advisable.
