Fitted or designed to be fitted with a motor, unladen (net) weight (excluding the motor) not exceeding 100 kg

This code covers inflatable or rigid-hull inflatable boats designed or fitted with a motor and weighing no more than 100 kg.

Detailed information for HTS Code 8903.11.00

This classification covers yachts, boats, and other vessels for pleasure or sports, specifically inflatable or rigid-hull inflatable boats designed to be fitted with a motor and weighing no more than 100 kg unladen. The 8903.11.00 code further defines this category, focusing on these lighter, motor-capable inflatable vessels. Statistical suffixes like .15, .20, and .60 are used to differentiate between boats valued over $500 with or without a rigid hull, and other inflatable boats – choose the suffix that best matches the boat's value and construction.
