Last updated: July 2026 dataLarge sailing vessels over 24 meters — superyachts, tall ships, and expedition-class cruisers — are among the highest-value pleasure craft imported into the United States, and the US schedule currently lists a single 10-digit tariff line (8903230020) covering non-auxiliary-motor vessels in this size class. South Africa and Italy lead supply under this heading, with the United Kingdom and France also present, reflecting the bespoke, low-volume nature of large sailing yacht construction. Given the high transaction values involved, accurate appraisement and the applicability of any first-sale or assists provisions are frequently scrutinized at entry.

The single active line (8903230020) covers non-auxiliary-motor sailing vessels exceeding 24 meters. If a vessel in this size range is fitted with an auxiliary motor, importers should consult a licensed customs broker to determine whether classification shifts to a different subheading, as the current children array does not include a dedicated auxiliary-motor line at this length tier.
For bespoke vessels without a comparable market sale, CBP may use the transaction value of the sale to the US buyer, but will scrutinize assists (owner-furnished equipment, design fees paid separately) and related-party pricing. Importers of high-value custom builds should prepare a detailed cost breakdown and be ready to support value under the deductive or computed value methods if transaction value is challenged.
