Sailboats Not Exceeding 7.5 Meters imports of $768K in April 2026 ran 17% below the year-to-date monthly average of $922K.
Last updated: April 2026 dataSmall non-inflatable sailboats up to 7.5 meters — with or without auxiliary motor — occupy a distinct classification tier that separates daysailers and compact cruisers from larger offshore vessels. The US schedule breaks this heading into four tariff lines (8903210010, 8903210030, 8903210035, 8903210040) based on whether an auxiliary motor is fitted and on hull length bands of under 4 m, 4–6.5 m, and 6.5–7.5 m. The United Kingdom and France are leading suppliers, reflecting strong European fiberglass and composite boatbuilding traditions, with Mexico also a notable source. Importers should confirm the correct length measurement method and motor configuration before filing, as misclassification between the auxiliary-motor and non-motor lines can affect duty liability.

CBP looks at whether a motor is permanently fitted to the vessel at the time of importation. A detachable outboard that is not part of the vessel's design generally does not qualify as an auxiliary motor; a fixed inboard or stern-drive engine does. Importers should document the vessel's design specifications and any installed propulsion equipment to support the correct line selection.
For HTS classification purposes, overall hull length (LOA) is the standard measurement used to determine which length band applies. Importers should obtain a builder's certificate or measurement certificate confirming LOA to avoid disputes at entry.
