Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 890321 when importing or exporting sailboats for pleasure or sports that are not inflatable and measure 7.5 meters or less. For instance, a shipment of a 6-meter sailboat designed for recreational sailing falls under this classification.
This code specifically applies to non-inflatable sailboats. If you have a larger sailboat or an inflatable model, you will need to look at different HS codes, such as 890322 for larger sailboats or 890320 for inflatable types.
The 890321 line includes sailboats equipped with or without an auxiliary motor, emphasizing their use for leisure activities. These vessels are often used in recreational sailing competitions or family outings on lakes and coastal waters.
When classifying a sailboat, consider its length and whether it has an auxiliary motor. Sailboats exceeding 7.5 meters or those that are inflatable will not fit this classification, so ensure you verify the specifications before shipping.
